Hi all,

Just got this great little digital camera a month ago. Now, after installing XP SP1, it isn't being recognized. Actually, it kind of is: the usual icon pops up in the sys tray telling me that a new drive has been found. After that, I can usually just go into My Computer and see/browse the Memory Stick as a seperate drive, but now it doesn't show up there. And when I try to uninstall the hardware using the sys tray icon, my PC freezes up completely. I tried installing the USB drivers that came with the camera(never needed them before) but that didn't work. I *can* access the Memory Stick through the Pixela software that came with the Sony, but that is much slower than just going through My Computer, and it still freezes the PC.

I know there have been a lot of problems with SP1. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Thanks.
