USB DRIVER DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS 98 FOR OPTIO50

These instructions will guide you through the process of downloading and installing the USB drivers for your camera on a Windows 98 or Windows 98SE computer. Please note that other supported operating systems such as Windows XP, ME, 2000, and MacOS do not need these drivers, because they will automatically sense the connection of your camera and load their own built-in mass storage drivers.

The download file usbsw33.exe is a self-extracting archive file which contains the drivers, and you can download the usbsw33.exe file by clicking the link at the bottom of this page. You may also wish to print this page to use as a reference while installing your drivers.

DOWNLOAD AND UNZIP THE USBSW33.EXE FILE

1. Download the usbsw33.exe file, and save it on your computer's hard drive. The desktop is a good place to save it to, where you can find it again easily.
2. Once you have the usbsw33.exe file on your computer, you must double click it. Then click the UNZIP button to unzip it to c:usbsw33.
3. Now, you will have a new folder on your C: drive called usbsw33 which contains the drivers. You are now ready to install them onto your computer.

DRIVER INSTALLATION

1. Connect your camera to the computer with the USB cable.
   NOTE: While you can generally use any USB port on your computer, including a powered hub, if you run into any connection problems then make sure to try a USB port on the back of your computer that is connected directly to your motherboard.
    
2. Turn your camera on (you can be in any mode).
    
3. Your computer will automatically detect the camera as new hardware, and start a New Hardware Wizard to help you find the needed drivers.
   
   Click NEXT.
    
4. Place the selection dot by the Wizard's recommended option if it is not already there.
   
   Click NEXT.
    
5. Place a checkmark by Specify a location: and type c:usbsw33 without the quotes into the location field, as shown below. This will instruct the Wizard to look for the driver files in the location to which you unzipped them earlier.
   
   Click NEXT.
    
6. The Wizard will do a quick search and tell you that it has found the needed drivers.
   
   Click NEXT.
    
7. Now, the Wizard will complete the installation.
   
   Click FINISH.
    
8. You're done! You can now find your camera as a removable disk drive in the My Computer window.
