I have a Canon Digital Ixus 990IS. The PC (running Windows XP SP2) sees the camera fine. I can copy images and movies.
However a large movie (900mb) fails with no message. This MS KB article describes the problem in detail. I face "Symptom #2" (as they call it).
The proposed solution is:
You can connect the camera by using USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) instead of PTP. Then, transfer large files by using Windows Explorer.
How do I do this? Any other workarounds?
Are you sure that you face the problem in the KB article? Accoridng to the article "This problem was first corrected in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2", so you shouldn't have any problems. – user13792 – 2009-10-21T15:43:27.880
@weiqure: the SP2 part is for Symptom #1, which is a problem with the PTP driver supplied by Microsoft. Since SP2 fixes the problem, presumably they upgraded the driver in SP2. – Jared Harley – 2009-10-21T15:47:54.983
