    Back in the good old days when you plugged something in to the USB ports in Win XP it recognized it and asked what you wanted to do next. Windows 7 comes along and won't play nice with my Casio Exilim EX-Z40. When I plug it Win 7 can't find a driver for it. I have one installed that recognizes the Camera as a USB device but I can't access it to d/l the photos on it. XP would bring up the camera as a " removable drive" which is perfect. Win 7 wont it keeps installing it as a device. Casio's Photo loader doesnt work with it either........any ideas????

    That camera was introduced in 2004 long before Windows 7 was released - Googling around it would appear that there are no Windows 7 drivers available from Casio.

    The solution is to use a card reader to download your images.

    This is a 6+ year old camera. It is Casio's responsibility to make software/drivers available for the new Windows OS.

    They won't, so your only option is to copy your photo's manually.

    Yes, I agree but I can't get to the storage on the camera. Win7 keeps installing it as a device rather than the removeable drive that XP used to. As a device it does nothing. At least I can't figure out how to access its memory(storage). When it was a drive I saw all the pics from my computer and copied manually. As a device I can't. Is there a way to make Win install as a drive,maybe?

    Thanks for the responses guys I appreciate it.

    Not without a driver, which is not available for 7.

    From the specs I see it has for image recording ......
    Although you may not be able to access the built in memory you should be able to use the SD card facility and a card reader with Win 7.
