From: Eve on 9 Jul 2006 08:35 Hello :) I bought a Vivicam 35 several months ago. It worked great on my last computer; however when I put the CD into my new one (Acer) I keep getting an error message; therefore unable to use the camera. I reconnected my last computer to see if I had the same problem, however the CD worked fine. Does anyone know what could be wrong; or a site that I can ask for support? Thanks, Eve

I would try to copy the contents of the CD, by using the computer that was able to accept the CDROM. Then arrange to take the copied files, to the new computer and use them there. An ethernet cable and setting up file sharing, would be one alternative, to getting at the files you copy to the hard drive on the old computer. In other words, it could be that the CDROM drive on the new computer, is having trouble reading the CD. Copying the files on the CD, using a computer that can read the disk, may be your best alternative. If the old computer had a CD burner, you could make a new CD from the old CD's contents. Paul
