Picture wizard stopped working

When I installed my Fuji Finepix a204 digital camera
I had no problems,( Windows xp home ) and the camera
wizard opened every time I connected the camera .
Now when I connect my camera, all that happens is that a
window opens with the folder which contains my pictures
and I have to transfer them manually.
I have tried setting the autoplay options on the
removable disc to open the wizard when the camera is
connected, but no joy.
Can anyone tell me how to get the wizard back?
Thank you.
James

Two different ways to try to repair. Both have been used. Both have been
reported to work, but not everyone has been successful.



Here is the latest fix.

I. Connect your camera to your computer, power it on and make sure you have
pictures on your memory card.

II. Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press Enter
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...
This will take a few seconds to run.

III. Go to the following site:
http://www.bigblackglasses.com/staff...ds/autofix.exe

and download the autofix.exe file in one of your folder. Once done, double
click on this file. A window will open. Follow the directions on the screen.

Once done, turn off the camera and reboot.

IV. Power the camera on, wait 10-15 seconds for XP to recognize it, you
should hear some beeping sound and the window should now open giving you the
option of downloading photos from the camera.

V. You may have to set the options for this window.
Click on My Computer, your camera should be listed there under Devices with
Removable Storage. Right click on it and click on Properties. In the opening
window, click on the Autoplay tab and under Select, scroll to Pictures to
select it. Select the button Prompt me...



Here is the previous fix.



Go this site:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...aq/default.asp


Fourth item from the top of the page. Two fixes are presented. One is to
edit the registry, the second one is to download Tweak UI and do the repair
with it. If you are comfortable editing the registry, go ahead.

If not, download Tweak UI.

Once you download Tweak UI file in one of your folders, double click on it
to install it.

Once this is done, click on Start and click on All Programs. Look for Power
Toys for Windows XP. Click on it and Tweak UI will be listed. Click on it to
get is started.

A window will open. Click on the + sign next to My Computer, then click on
the + sign next to Autoplay. Then, click on Types. Check the boxes for
Autoplay Drive Types and click OK.



Here is another fix.



Forget about the above fixes. Buy a USB card reader (about $15.00) and
connect it to your computer. Load your memory card in it and then this
Autoplay box will open for you to download your pictures. A favorite
solution. Why not? Just another way to do things when Microsoft breaks down
and you have to spend more money to repair what should be easy to do.

Hi James,Try this,it worked for me.
Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp
Download Tweak UI
When you have downloaded open it up,a box will appear
with various options.
Click on My Computer.
Click on Autoplay.
Tick the two boxes at the top and click okay.
Hope you can understand that.
Good Luck.

Thank you for the feedback. When solutions are posted, we need to know if
they worked or not. Getting "yes it worked" or "no it did not worked" is
important. Solutions or suggestions are posted here by people who are trying
to help. We seldom get feedback from the person posting the problem and so
we have no idea if the proposed solution worked or not. Thanks a million for
the feedback.
