The Microsoft scanner and camera wizard is a handy feature included with the Microsoft Windows Operating System. However sometimes when you plug your digital camera into your computer via USB, it will make the usual noise, saying its connected, but nothing happens. Oh no.. What do you do now? When you connect a plug and play digital camera into your computer to transfer photo’s it is usually set to automatically start the Microsoft scanner and camera wizard to extract the pictures. However sometimes people have installed other software that may have altered the auto play settings.

How do I know that my digital camera has connected to my computer?

Of course for the automatic scanner and camera wizard to work unless you have a camera connected to your computer. You will usually here a sound when the device is plugged into the USB port on your computer. You will also have to turn the power button on for the camera. A computer cannot recognize it unless the power is on the camera.

Another way to tell if you have connected the camera to the computer is to go to my computer and verify that there is a camera icon there. This applies to both Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Go to My Computer which is either an icon on your desktop or in the start menu in the bottom left corner. You can also access your camera from the control panel.
Here you will see your camera appear. (see below)
If the digital camera icon is there then your camera is connected properly.

Under the heading Camera Tasks, choose to Show camera properties. (you can also choose to Get Pictures from Camera to start the Wizard manually)

Choose the Events Tab from the top of the dialog box. See screen shot below.

Here you can select an event. I chose that when the camera is connected it will automatically start Windows XP’s inbuilt scanner and camera wizard.

How to make the Scanner and Camera Wizard automatically start in Windows Vista?

In Windows Vista you can also set the options to import pictures using Windows to do this automatically when you plug in your camera. unfortunately, there is no scan and camera wizard like there was in Windows XP, included in Windows Vista or Windows 7. Of course Windows will still extract your photos but it is missing some important options that this scanner and camera wizard previously had in Windows XP. If this annoys you like it does millions of other people,you can download Windows live photo Gallery, which is free from Microsoft and is pretty good. It is meant to do everything that the scan and camera wizard did and more.

How to fix the Microsoft scanner and camera wizard in Windows XP?

You have the Microsoft scan at and camera wizard installed on your computer, but it is not working, you can go to the Microsoft download Center and get a tool to fix it. It is a free download and it will check to see if all your auto play settings are working. When you have downloaded this tool, plug-in your camera and this process will be checked to see if there is a problem.

I am presuming that this fix is just for a Windows XP computer.

Notes about the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard:

If there are no pictures it will say this and you will not have the option to go on. The automatic scanner and camera Wizard will only work if you have pictures on your digital camera.
You also need to have a camera plugged in to see the Microsoft scanner and camera wizard appear.
You do not always have to use the automatic scan and camera wizard as most digital cameras come with their own software. This is often better to use as it would have an editing program with it. For example if you have a Kodak camera it usually comes with the Kodak EasyShare software which is not only equal to the automatic scan and camera wizard, but is also a great editing program. I personally have a Fuji camera and it came with some software that I prefer to use instead of the automatic scanner and camera wizard.

Now I would like to tell you about a new technology that can help you transfer your photos to your computer. It is a Eye-fi SD card that can be inserted into your camera, if your digital camera takes ST cards. Then when you want to transfer your photos, if you have a wireless connection available, you do not need any cords to move the photos from the camera to the computer. you might have a laptop with a wireless connection, or you might have wireless in your house. This simple Eye-Fi card will go into most digital cameras. If you have problems connecting your camera to computers all a problem using the Microsoft scanner and camera wizard, then I suggest you check out this post, Eye-Fi Pro X2 review.
