sound like I share similare prolblems to Stevedwyer - just relate them again.

I've been having problems with the Olympus Master Software (E500 camera)
1) updates have caused my computer to crash (more than once)

2) software is unable to detect when my camera is connected so have to choose storeage on the camera itself - only then will images load into the sofware.

3) Cannot find my pictures other than through master software itself. Cant seem to locate them using windows explorer.

4) When using the software I have an option to backup images to CD and yet it wont allow me to choose that option.
I can only back them up to my hard drive.

4) Do my camera batteries drain every time I download images into the software. I recall reading somewhere there is a way to save the cameral batteries.

Is there someone reading this who can help with all or at least some of these issues. Many thanks pippa

Hello,

I have not had the same problems as you. But, I did have to check my connection a couple times as the USB cable was falling out of the camera. If you want to save battery life while tranferring, get yourself a card reader ($30.00 or so) and simply insert the card direcly into the computer.

Hope it helps

I will double check the usb connection and will also look out for the card reader ($30. ) i've went to my local pc shop here in the wild west of wales and they ordered one about a month ago. will look one out on the internet.
