Select another port if necessary. In most cases, it is best
to leave the
Port
setting at
Auto
because Image Expert
can detect the camera connection automatically.
If you have a serial device connected to one port and an
internal modem on the other, you can try setting the
Port
to COM3 or COM4.

Select a slower speed. Image Expert automatically
chooses the fastest speed that works with your system,
but this may actually be too fast for the configuration of
your port. If you are using Windows 95 or
Windows NT, try lowering the speed to 57600. If you
are using Windows 3.1, try lowering the speed to 57600
or 38400. You may need to experiment to choose the
best speed for your system.
