- The installation procedures may vary between Windows versions. Look for your operating system below to determine the exact procedures to follow.

WIA Driver Installation Precautions

- You can install the WIA Driver if you are using Windows Me or Windows XP. In addition, you should read the "WIA Driver Limitations" below before installing the driver.

WIA Driver Limitations

- When you have set the WIA Driver to start a particular application program when you connect the camera, the program may cause an error message similar to the following to appear: "TWAIN data source not found. Reinstall the scanner software." If this happens, select [WIA-camera model] in the application program as the TWAIN device. Your camera model name will appear in place of the "camera model" in the brackets above.

- Windows Me users cannot use ZoomBrowser EX's auto start function when the WIA Driver is installed.

- TWAIN Driver is the driver software for USB connections to Windows 98 and Windows 2000 only. It is the software required to load images into TWAIN-compliant application programs, such as ArcSoft PhotoImpression and VideoImpression. Since it is not a stand-alone program, you must always use it by starting it from within a TWAIN-compliant program.

- WIA Driver is the driver software for USB connections to Windows Me and Windows XP only. When you connect the camera to the computer with a USB cable, the Scanners and Cameras Wizard will open automatically to assist with downloading. This driver also allows you to use Windows Explorer to display the camera's thumbnail images on the computer and download images with standard file copying procedures.
