Hi? Get ready for a laugh! I postponed my appointment until tomorrow & contacted Fuji. While we were discussing it, the agent said it sounds like your USB isn?t plugged in. I thought, that?s impossible?I have had it plugged in at all times since I bought that camera. Then it dawned on me. In July, I bought a Micro Bluetooth Adapter & I was out of USB slots, so something had to go. I cracked up laughing at myself! I had the disk with the drivers on it & I was back in biz. I can?t believe I didn?t spot it after reading the posts! I REALLY appreciate all the GREAT suggestions from everyone!! It was a bit baffling, because I didn?t know which to do first. I HATE doing OS restores. To me, the nightmare is not in doing the restore; it?s in having to reinstall all of my software. I have a lot of programs on here & it?s just a pain in the rear? I understand it is something I may end up having to do anyway & I guess I?ll have to face that when the time comes. Knowing there?s still a bug on here, I DL?d the Malwarebytes & just finished running it. Sure enough, there were some Trojans that my AV & Spybot S&D & Trend Micro System Clean did not find. I?m pretty surprised. I thought I had all my bases covered? Obviously, I?ll delete those, but these other two pose questions: Vendor Category Items Adware.Coupons Registry Key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{87255c51-cd7d-4506-b9ad- 97606daf53f3} Adware.Coupons Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Distribution Units\{9522b3fb-7a2b-4646-8af6-36e7f593073c} (Obviously that fourth & fifth line should be under the items column, but when I tab forward, it starts moving the line above it?!?!? The trojan?s fault?) The fact that they?re in the Reg. scares me, so I thought I?d ask before making a mistake. Should they stay or should they go? Gut says GO? Also, for future reference, if I?m running a Reg. Cleaner, how do I know what to keep? Thank you again for all your help. PS?I doubt I?ll be able to access that MS Autorun prog. The bozo that sold me this thing did not put genuine software in it. I know? I know? It?s on my list? I'll probably just get a new laptop & toss this one...

Oh, Please, Please, PLEEEZE do not tell me I need to screw with System Restore! I did SEVEN System Restores on my old Compaq 7598 & what a fricking nightmare! MY newest desktop is a generic that was put together by an acquaintance & has been running BEAUTIFULLY until this recent incident. If it helps, the MB is shown below: Sorry I forgot to mention my OS etc... XP SP2 & Fuji Finepix F-10 (AWESOME Camera, BTW...) My Motherboard is: VIA Technologies PT800CE-A Motherboard & now I have noticed the weirdest thing... the MSWord Doc containing the info that I had already researched on this PC has changed from either Arial Narrow or Times New Roman to Helvetica... AYCARUMBA! I have NEVER used Helvitica! Pleeeze HELLLLLP!

Thank you, Hazelnut, for such a prompt reply. I merged the 4 Reg. Cleaners & tried to run the USB Driver exe again & it gave me the same error: Self-Decompression Error - Failed to Decompress the Archive. If anyone else has any suggestions, please help! I'm brainstorming... is it necessary to reboot to restore the files after doing the merge? Should I try DL'g another Fuji viewer? or ? Thanks!

Hi-- I used the CCleaner for the first time several weeks back & it successfully removed 29GB (Yes!--29GB) of files that were showing in the Windows Temp folder. Right clicking on each of the subfolders did not locate the files. I felt confident enough in the SW to take the next step. Last night, I DL'd & installed the most recent version 2.11.636 & ran the CCleaner again. It seemed to work fine again. The reason I came upon the CCleaner is ever since the beginning of the Olympics, I have been getting www.textdoor.com/?3 popups and www/hdcj.com/?3. I went to a Beijing Olympics website to check the medal counts & it has been happening ever since. That hdcj is a Chinese site. It turns out that the CCleaner did not fix the problem, but I didn't find that out until recently. After doing the 2nd Cleaning, I did the registry cleaning & backed everything up. There were still files showing, so I ended up hitting the Scan for Issues button 4 times & did 4 backups until there were no more files showing. Right now, I need to transfer videos from my camera to my PC that need to be used for work in the morning. When I plugged the camera in, the drive does not pop up in Windows Explorer as it usually does. I thought that the Reg. Cleaner must have deleted something needed to run the program, so I DL'd a new USB Driver from the Fuji site, deleted my old driver & tried to install the new one. When I tried to execute the prog., it gave me an error--process not completed. Now I'm worried that other files needed to execute WinZip or other programs have also been deleted. So, the question of the hour is--do I merge the Reg. Backup files as directed in the FAQ's? OR--What do I do now? PLEEEEEZE HELP!!! I have a meeting in 8 hours & need to empty my camera so I can record our conversation. Thank you to anyone that responds ASAP!!
