Cd Rom

Hello All, I wonder if anyone could help.I am looking for a cdrom for my pentax Kx (Red). If anyone has one they could loan me, I would be willing to pay the postage. As soon as I have downloaded it,I will return it to you. I have the manualon cd,but need the cdrom for my computer. Be most grateful for any help. Ken

Do you mean the software disk?

Sorry, bettyswolloks, yes.I have tried several places to no avail. Ken

PENTAX Digital Camera Utility 4 - is this the software you mean??

Have a look here.

And here.

I believe so. I can use the card from the camera to view the photos,but if I plug the camera in the computer wont recognise the camera. Ken

Your camera won't normally be recognised as "Pentax K-x" - it usually comes up as "mass storage device", so first thing I would look at is:

(1) hook your camera up to the pc with the cable;
(2) open "file explorer" (if you have Win7/8/8.1, this is the folder icon on the bottom-left of your screen);
(3) if your camera is there (as MSD), double-click (with an sd card inserted). If you have any photos on the card, you should see a thumbnail of each image. If not:

Open DEVICE MANAGER (if you are running Win 8/8.1, you can type this in via the charm bar on the right-hand side), then (hopefully) you will see a device with a question mark inside a yellow triangle. With any luck, this is listed under DISK DRIVES. Highlight the faulty drive, then right-click, then select UNINSTALL. Now, go to the top, and click on (I think) FILE, then (assuming I just pointed you in the right direction) click SCAN FOR HARDWARE CHANGES with the camera still attached via cable. Fingers crossed that it has now registered the camera correctly as a MSD.

OK,Thanks for all your help. I will try them all and see if it works. Watch this space,
