Installing Nikon PictureProject on Win 98

stillthetooth · 06-07-2006, 06:28 PM

I have a Nikon Coolpix 3200, which requires installation of PictureProject 1.0 to install the camera so I can upload photos. The manual lists Win98 as a compatible operating system, but when I try to install, I get a message saying that the program can not run on my operating system.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? If not, is there another way I can get my camera installed so I can upload photos?

any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I am very tired of having to go to a photocenter to put pics on cd.

Hi and Welcome to TSF

Its possible it only supports 98SE and you may be running 98 first editon, can you check to verify your O.S. ?

I have SE, and the software says it requires XP Home Edition or Professional, 2000 Professional, ME, or SE.

Please post your exact error message

I wanted to put the exact error message in my original post, but I can't get the message to come up again.

I put the installation cd in, and a window pops up asking me to select a language. I choose English (I've even tried Spanish) and click "next" (the only other option is "quit"). The first time I attempted, I got an error message that said something along the lines of "PictureProject cannot run on this operating system." But during all my subsequent tries, I click "next" and nothing happens. The language window disappears, and nothing else pops up no matter how long I wait.
If I can get the error message to come up again, I will post it verbatim.
