Unable to get PC to recognize the camera from Nikon s3300.

We just bought a Nikon s3300 camera and can not get our PC to recognize it. Whenever we try to install the software, we get an error message telling us that we are missing a file ptpusb.dll and that we should insert the original XP discs. We have not what the computer was XP is already installed. I tried several programs repair/recover for free available, but none worked. Also, I reloaded the last sp3 for XP hoping this would provide that missing the file, but it doesn't work anymore.  Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem? I noticed on the internet, that this is not a rare problem with certain digital cameras and XP, but nowhere can I find someone who seems to know the answer!

original title: lack of ptpusb.dll

OK here's what I discovered - I discovered a lot of people who have had this same problem when trying to install a relatively new digital camera on XP. I'm not an expert, but the common theme seems to be that one of the 2 dll files are required by the camera to work via the usb connection, and for some reason that I do not understand that they are not easily identifiable or pre-installed when it connects for the first time. The files are ptbusb.dll and/or his sister c:\windows\system32\ptpusd.dll of the file. According to several sites that I contacted, these default files shoud is in at least one of these places - c:\windows\system32 or \system32\dllcache or c:\windows\drivercache\i386. However, ptbusb.dll was not in one of these locations on the version of XP that I was working, even after reloading of the pack SP3 and after looking all hidden files.

In the end, I went to www.dll-files.com. This was one of the few sites I found that would let me just to download a zip file with the file that I wanted (with file note on how to install and where), without having to sign up for some sort of remedial program that eventually I would have had to pay for.
I've copied this file to windows\system32 first and does not need to put it anywhere else, because after this, the camera was immediately recognized and the problem disappeared.

  • Unable to get games to recognize the graphics card.

    Hello.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c50ca Entertainment Notebook PC

    I have had for almost a year. It is still quite shiny and new and I love it, but there is an annoying problem, I keep turning once in a while. Specifically, I bought this laptop on another model with more processing power because the secondary dedicated graphics card with which he came was much better than the graphics cards in all other models. It has a

    Radeon (TM) HD 7690 M XT, which is not really stellar, but has been well evaluated and a good report quality / price of the laptop. The problem is, I never actually using it when I play games because they always try to detect my hardware automatically and don't find that bed in the graphic chip intel supplied with the processor. I always go in the Catalyst Control Center to change it to 'high performance', but seems not to do anything. I checked the support for some of these games and they had some suggestions for fixing it, but so far without success. Is there anyway I can force the laptop to give priority using the Radeon all the time? I am not concerned about power because I usually take the power cord with the laptop everywhere. (It's a computer 17 "laptop and relatively heavy, so I am really confused by the extra weight of the cord).

    Long story short, none of my games seem to find my good graphics card, intel only shit one. How can I fix it.

    I understand that the Intel card is the only option for the games that select the video card before the launch of the game.  To check, make games that do not select the card before the game starts work with the AMD card?  Just to note, switchable graphics of AMD system will use an AMD card with OpenGL programs.  See this document for more information on OpenGL.

    Make sure you have the most recent BIOS.  I doubt that your system will have this option (few do), but go into the BIOS and check the section of configuring the system for a fixed mode option.

  • Is there a way to get PS5 to recognize the camera Lumix FZ200 raw?

    I just got this camera and I was under the impression that the PS 5 had an update to manage raw from devices other than the major SLR, but I can't locate.  Any idea?

    Thanks for your quick response... It was as I suspected.  Lumix comes with a short version of a show of raw so guess Im stuck using them.

  • Had to reload operating system and applications data, now can't get firefox to recognize the profile data

    My C drive (disk solid state drive), which held my operating system and data from the app crashed. I had it replaced, updated Win 7 to win 10 and have downloaded Firefox. I was able to restore my profile from a Mozy backup data and copied in the Firefox folder. But Firefox resolutely refuses to recognize. I tried using the recovery data from an old profile, but no advantage help page. Tried to use the Manager profile, but without success. When I go to Troubleshooting Information and click on file/Show profile, it comes up with a list of files (files starting with bookmarkbackups, which however is empty, down for webapps, which has the file inside webapps.json), then the files from addons.json down through xulstore.json and the file places.sqlite is 10 240 KB Although there is something in there, but Firefox resolutely refuses to acknowledge my profile, bookmarks, etc..

    I'm out of options and ripping my hair out trying to get all my favorites, in which I have a lot of information such as the authentication of data for many favorite sites. It is frustrating that all the information seems to be there, but Firefox ignore all.

    Can anyone help?

    Such a backup is perhaps a ZIP archive containing all the files into it if it is not a real file, but only one file.

    Note is that you replace the file places.sqlite with a copy of the backup that you have to make sure to remove existing places.sqlite - shm and temporary files to SQLite places.sqlite - wal.
    Ditto for the other SQLite files that you are restoring.

    Have you checked the application.ini file in the backup?

  • Is it possible to get 4 to recognize the raw files of my 7 d Mark 2 of lightroom?

    I have searched here for a few days now, but can't seem to get my head around the answers I received a brand new 7 d 2 a few weeks ago.  When I got to download my photos from the card that I was only slightly surprised, they were unreadable - I forgot to format the card in the camera.  Not much, I thought, gleefully removing photos that Lightroom could not read and formatting the card.  But now that I formatted the card, I'm kindof upset that Lightroom always can not read files in all.  I downloaded the DNG Converter and updated all my software, but if the files are not played at all, how do I convert them?

    What am I supposed to do? I can see the photos on the camera itself - I usually shoot in Raw and JPEG to cover me, but this time, Lightroom is not read either format.  If I only shoot in JPEG I can download them without problem, but together (jpeg and raw) I do not either.

    Wise tech, I have a hp laptop, 4 GB RAM, 2 TB hd (separate), Windows 7 64-bit os, 4 of Lightroom and Photoshop elements 12.

    Help me please?

    Thank you

    I downloaded the DNG Converter and updated all my software, but if the files are not played at all, how do I convert them?

    The DNG Converter (version 8.7 or later) allows you to convert RAW format to DNG. It is a separate step, outside of Lightroom, before importing. Then th DNG will be able to import in Lightroom 4.

    I usually shoot in Raw and JPEG to cover myself, but this time Lightroom is not read either format.

    If your card has the JPG and RAW, Lightroom is not read jpg files? Can you give the error message or describe what's happening? Also, make sure the option to treat the JPG next to RAW as distinct pictures is checked. Lightroom help | Set preferences to import

  • DNG Converter does it automatically recognizes the camera files?

    If I have several Sony cameras, all with. Extension ARW, DNG converter automatically recognizes different cameras, or what I need to separate different cameras and convert files that a camera at the same time manually?

    Another question: why DNG converter does not have its own community?

    The exact model of camera is stored in the Raw file headers and will be detected automatically. DNG Converter is the same as Camera Raw, so any questions can be directed to the it.

  • MPSDRV is degraded, how to get Windows to recognize the GP14 Panda firewall is on?

    My MPSDRV is degraded, I have a third part product installed AV. GP14 is Panda.  Control Panel reports that Panda firewall is enabled in the Security section of the windows and Windows Firewall disabled.  When I open the Panda, I get a message that the firewall is disabled.  I am running Win7 Home Premium 64 bit on a Dell Inspiron 14R laptop.  I don't have this problem with my Dell XPS M1330 running than Win7 Home Premium 32-bit!

    Hello

    Windows in Windows 7 firewall relies on the following two services. In other words, these are the dependency for Windows Firewall services.
    1. base filtering engine (BFE)
    2 driver (MPSDRV) the Windows Firewall authorization

    If these two services are running, then by default firewall Service Windows to run.

    I would like you to follow these steps to check if this solves the problem.

    has. open an administrator command prompt. To do this, type CMD in theStart search from the Start menu. Right-click on the result and choose 'Run as administrator'.
    b. run the following command lines:
    1 netsh advfirewall reset
    2 net start mpsdrv
    3 net start bfe
    4 net start mpssvc
    5 regsvr32 firewallapi.dll
    c
    . confirm all the boxes that appears by clicking OK. The result on the last entry should say she succeeded.

    Note: If you receive errors on the command line, then there is definitely something wrong with the drivers and the service.

    This may indicate an error in registry or a corrupted file.
    d. restart the system.

    Please report if you have any questions. I will be happy to provide you with the additional options that you can use to get the problem resolved.
