Camera Help

:1zhelp:
Okay, I know alot of you are "photographers." Just wondering if you can help me out. I got a Sony Cyber-shot 2.0 Mega Pixels DSC-P51 Memmory Stick. Its hard to explain, so try and follow along. I Accidently screwed up my Sony USB Cord, by running over it with my chair wheels (:banghead: DOH!) So, I got a RadioShack USB Cord. No biggie, $17. I got the new cord hooked up, and got a set of pictures on the computer. So, it did work. I come back with a second set of pictures to put on my camera, I got one loaded on the computer, then, i want to drag another picture into the folder, and a message pops up saying "Could not transfer picture" Or some BS Like that. BTW, the program im using is Cameo Viewer or something along the lines of that. As soon as i hook up the USB Cord in my camera, it will automatically start up. After the second picture could not transfer over, i turned the Camera off, and restared. Only this time, the Cameo Viewer didnt automatically start up. So, i manually started it, but it kept saying to check the camera connection. I even tried trying to get it to work on my computer at work-no luck. So, its not the computer. I just got a new RadioShack USB Cord, and im having the same problem. The bad thing is, ive had this camera for over 2 years, so i doubt the store will take it back (i dont even know if i have the recipt), and the warrenty is probably done with. Im am really fucking pissed off right now. :wtf: :newburn: :swear:

for 17$, I would buy an external USB reader.. it's faster and often don't need any software or driver, so it's really nobrainer

What's with people running thier wires over with the chairs?
I know a friend that recently messed up his speaker wires by running it over with a chair.. haha:iceslolan

Did you try taking more pictures and try it again?

It could just be a corrupted memory card...

This has happened to me before.

And what OS are you useing?

XP does some funny things with my new Canon A80, it likes to load camera folder window, but won't show any of the pics unless I refreash it.

But a USB calble is a USB cable, there will be no differnce between the one you got, or the one that came with the camera, so you must have at some stage some how altered a setting, or settings on either the camera, or the PC.

If your useing XP, then I highly recomend simply opening the camera from the My Computer window, it will be listed at the bottom under your disc drives.

Otherwise try reinstalling the came software, or have a look for some new drivers.

that sounds more like an OS problem then a problem with the camera ... but i agree .. just get a memory stick reader and use that with the computer instead of the usb cable to transfer the images ... if you are lucky you can still find one of the floppy disc adapters at a wal-mart for the sony memory sticks ... if not they make other adapters that can read it as well...
