If it weren't for your site being recommended, I would never have found out that using XP's WIA would work for me. My PC is messed and probably for that reason I can't get your script to run, so I tried XP's. Works great and opening Windows Explorer to my D40x as a device lets me double-click to see a full-screen image. I tried one further that may interest you, or not: GIMP has a function to aquire images (usually I use it with my scanner so "why not" I thought. Turns out it does everything the XP wizard allows and even opens a resizable preview window that updates as you take pictures. Just click the thumbnail and it loads. Thought you'd like to take a look. Thanks for your time. Rui Great site, Raymond.
