Devices attached to computer (Tech Vanity)

[processing please hold]

I'm trying to download a picture of an M-14 I got for my birthday to my hard drive and I keep getting the message: "We've detected several devices attached to your computer, please select the device you want to get images from."

[processing please hold]

When I go to get images from my camera it shows E:\. That's the only option that is clickable on the screen. Please help if you can.

Shoot the computer with your M-14 and get a new one.

Just kidding.......

Did you try to unplug the USB port that the camera is attached to, re attach it and let the computer find it?

It's sweet. Hubby took off from work early and brought it home to me.

Did you try to unplug the USB port that the camera is attached to, re attach it and let the computer find it?

I'll try that now, thanks.

When I did that, this came up : Destinations: 'The feature you are trying to use is an CD-ROM or other removeable disk that is not available.' And beneath that it says: insert the 'Destinations' disk and click ok.

Everything must have gotten changed around when I was making photo montage.

Does it look like this?

First of all, make sure you’re logged in

I’ve downloaded literally hundreds of pictures from my memory card that I insert into my (here comes my tech language) little white HP contraption that always immediately posted the pictures to my computer.

This is Windows XP, correct? If so, right click the “My Computer” and choose Manage.

Click on Disc Management. You device may be in there, but has a ‘drive letter’ conflict. You can change the drive letter here, and you’ll be able to access the usb device.

You got a M-14 for your birthday? [drool]

[processing please hold]

No, my barrel is longer.

[Yo-Yo]

No, my barrel is longer.

That's what they ALL say.

[processing please hold]

It’s XP. I clicked on ‘my computer’ but it doesn’t have anything that says manage. My Kodak camera is set on E:\.

[b4its2late]

Well, if all else fails, I guess you could try to do a system recovery to a point when it worked.

You got a M-14 for your birthday? [drool]

I have the greatest husband in the world. He knows what I like. :)

[processing please hold]

But in this situation I mean it. I’m a she. LOLOLOL

[fellowgeek]

Have you tried the magic, shutdown and restart the computer?

[processing please hold]

I’ll try that. If it doesn’t work I’ll go whole hog and do a system restore.

[fellowgeek]

Don’t forget to show us the picture after you get it figured out.

[Yo-Yo]

LOL! Now that you mention it I did read “my husband” in one of your replies!

[RSmithOpt]

Ahhhh.....”ol reliable” (Re: #6)

[Dacula]

I’ll bet that this resolves the problem!

By the way - Mine is bigger........

[mkjessup]

You're missing a connector. You need one of these:


Once plugged in and Windows finds the device, just be careful where it's aimed, ok? Happy to help. :)

[RJS1950]

Ahh the memories. Except for the different flash suppressor it is a reminder of the reliable M-14 I had through most if my Marine enlistment. I do wish I had kept the walnut stock that I had polished to a high shine. I sold the stock to a barracks mate for $25 (a nice piece of change in 73) and turned it in with a standard plastic stock.

[processing please hold]

Ok. That was a bad move. A very, very bad move, the system restore. It got rid of half my programs I had to do an ‘undo’ to get everything back.

[processing please hold]

I’ll show it as soon as I can get rid of E:\ that’s standing in my way.

[processing please hold]

So ya see, I was serious when I said mine was longer. LOL

[processing please hold]

I have a whole drawer full of stuff that I don’t even know what it’s for. I think I even have one of those. I’ll be very careful with my aiming.

[petro45acp]

However this works out, CONGRATS on the M-14! You are fortunate, and “hubby” is a good man!

Arm the womenfolk!

[b4its2late]

Hmm. Something not right. I think you need a real geek to help you out. I know just enough to be dangerous. Sorry.

[mkjessup]

That's good, because you never know when 'Windows Update' might decide to update your house with a clip full of fresh M-14 ammo, LOL

[papasmurf]

Remind me not to upset you and to always respond to you with “Yes, ma’am”.

You’re still using ver. 1a?

Ver. 3b has Firewire.

Here's one of hubby holding it. (he can dream)

Here's me holding it. I was surprised at the weight of it. With it, he also got me 4 clips. 3-20's and 1-10.

[processing please hold]

Thank you. A great BD present. He’s a very good man. :)

[processing please hold]

God must truly love me when it comes to computers. I always mess everything up by poking and clicking where I shouldn’t and he comes along and fixes my problems the same way. I couldn’t tell you how I fixed it if my life depended on it.

[processing please hold]

Four clips is enough for now. I'm not about to ask for more - I'll let some time go by first. LOL

You're safe, papa, only leftist liberals upset me. LOLOL

Ma'am not necessary. :)

Reading your thread brings this song to mind:

Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant

She said she was fresh from the farm

And I remember thinkin' for a country girl

That she went pretty well armed

We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank

I ordered her a slow gin fizz

And when them chicken fried steaks arrived

She said I like living like this

-

-

And I mean this with respect.

[processing please hold]

I like that. Sounds like good livin' to me. ;)

FWIW, We're off to the steak house, T-bone, tonight, chicken fried steak for another time. Good livin', my cup runneth over.

And I mean this with respect.

And I took it that way.

[b4its2late]

Hey, it’s the desired results that count.
