Windows Firewall

[Guest Connie Martin]

Since activating Windows Firewall I have been unable to upload photos from my

digital camera to my PC hard drive. The sound is "Device Failed to Connect".

Is there a setting in Windows Firewall that I need to change, or set? I

looked at "Exceptions", but I really don't know what to do there. I did add

the Photo software program to the list that normally uploaded my photos from

my camera, but that didn't help. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Are you sure it's the firewall? Did you try turning it OFF to see if the

problem goes away, and then back ON to see if the problem comes back? It's

good to see if the problem can be reproduced before looking at other things.

Well sounds like to me its not the firewall cos,if you allowed the camera

software through the firewall.It will not block it,and couse a (Device

failed) sound.Second.. on the Device failed sound...its sounds like you may

need to check the device you are conecting to the computer (first),and make

sure you check for any system updates.Or so maybe just blow out the dust in

the usb connection in the pc`s usb slot and usb plug.cos This MAY couse

fulity connection.This is a starting point.
