There's nothing wrong dude - that camera uses a serial rs-232
interface to the computer (i.e. not speedy usb just a telephone modem
type of speed). I thought I mentioned the serial interface but maybe
I did later (i.e. after that particular post). My particular problem
has been solved for me but I wonder about other user's particular
setups having an unavoidable problem (i.e. they don't have a powerful
enough power supply for their particular serial camera so their
camera shuts off after 40-50 minutes while they are away and come
back to their computer and are unable to continue without proper
device manager (unique) knowledge and so have to reboot for the next
set of pictures). Again - the camera I am talking about uses serial
rs-232 = not usb. Good luck and later!

P.s. - A free windows automater/scripting program would probable be
useable for those other people to just leave their computer while the
transfer is taking place by properly shutting the device off with
device manager, but that might take some programming knowledge.
