[QUOTE="redbarchetta, post: 353000, member: 31262"] First post, absolute newbie. I'm borrowing a camera from a friend with an option to buy. I don't have the cable that came with the camera (not sure one did). So I went to a cable store and picked up what I assumed was the proper USB of cable. It fits in the camera just fine. However, when I hookup the cable to the camera and PC and turn on the camera, Windows is not detecting the camera. I don't get the little "new device found" jingle nor does it appear in the Device Manager. I downloaded ViewNX 2 which I thought might have some kind of driver necessary for detection. Started the app, and clicked on the Transfer button. But still no luck. Hoping someone might have some kind of insight as to what I could be doing wrong, or what steps I still need to take. Thanks for any input! Rick [/QUOTE]
