Connect the Camera Directly to the Computer The camera may not function as expected when connected via a USB hub or keyboard. Register the Camera with the System (Windows) The first time the camera is connected to a Windows computer, the camera must be "registered" with the system so that the computer will know how to communicate with the camera. If you are using Windows Millennium Edition (Me) or Windows 2000 Professional, the computer will register the camera automatically the first time the camera is connected. The files needed to register the camera with Windows 98/Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) are provided on the Nikon View 4 installer CD. Be sure the CD is inserted in the drive when you first connect your camera. Other versions of Windows do not support USB. More information on registering your camera can be found in the Nikon View 4 Reference Manual. Mac OS 8.6 Users of Mac OS 8.6 will need to upgrade to version 1.3.5 of the Apple Computer USB driver. 183
