Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / May 2005toshiba PDR4
gave my old Toshiba PDR4 to a friend, she has an IBM Laptop with windows 95. Although she has a USB port, we could not download the pictures from the camera. We found a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager under the USB port when we connected the camera. In the manual it says, it would need preinstalled windows 98. Anyone has an idea if there is something to be done about that??? Windows 95 (& 98 I think?) did not come with USB support. You will have to install a newer Dos or a driver for USB ports possibly that came with the USB hardware device. > gave my old Toshiba PDR4 to a friend, she has an IBM Laptop with > windows 95.

It is next to impossible to make USB work on Windows 95. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q258773/ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q253756/ The first reliable system for USB support is Windows 98 SE. It is possible to upgrade the OS to Windows 98 SE.  SignatureCSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- > gave my old Toshiba PDR4 to a friend, she has an IBM Laptop with > windows 95.
