Sorry, I'm not anti-Microsoft. If your camera has a USB port, my instructions will work. You don't need special software. If your camera doesn't have a USB port, then of course, all bets are off. It's not MS' fault, in that case. If your camera doesn't have a USB port, then it's not the camera's fault either. It came out before USB - although I think that's highly unlikely. What camera is it (make and model)?
