• Vivicam 3550 Digital Camera's installation CD
includes an "auto-check" program to detect
if your PC has any software conflicts between
PC's own devices and the camera. If the
"auto-checker" detects existence of software
conflicts, it will recommend and guide the user
to download the updated driver/file from
appropriate website to solve the conflict problem.
• If you cannot download the driver from
website for some reasons, try following the
following procedures:
1. Insert the Vivicam 3550 Digital Camera
installation CD into the CD-ROM drive
2. Look for the file "recover.bat" stored in the CD
3. Double-click the file to initiate the recovering
process
4. Restart your computer
5. Install the camera driver again
