I just got a new digital camera (Pentax optio 4S) and in the process of trying
to load the software from the CD into my computer I got an error message reading: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in a safe mode (I'm not) or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Any thoughts before I plunk down $49.95 to Dell for 90 days of tech support?

I do not know what Pentax is shipping for software or what type of interfaces it might have.
I have one of those HP printers with a card slot in it, and as soon as you stick the card in it, it sees it like a new disk drive. If the camera has a USB cable, the computer will probably see the camera as a new disk drive as well. The software is probably photo editing software, and if your computer came pre-loaded with anything like Adobe Photoshop Elements (which both I bought lately did) it is more than likely better than what is packed with the camera anyway. |
