Dear Sirs:

This is to inform you of the status of Fujifilm digital cameras on Windows XP.
1. The current CD "Software for FinePix Ver.1.2" is NOT compatible with Windows XP.
(1) Current digital camera packages include a paper with the following statement:
(2) If you install software from the current CD into Windows XP,
and connect a camera with a PC via USB,
two Launchers (Windows Auto Play and Fujifilm Exif Launcher / FinePixViewer) start
simultaniously, and the PC may become out of control (or may hang-up).
(3) If you do not install any software from the current CD into Windows XP,
and connect a camera with a PC via USB,
- the camera (Mass Storage mode) will be recognized,
because the Mass Storage driver is pre-installed in Windows XP.
- the camera (PC Camera mode) will NOT be recongnized,
because the PC Camera driver is NOT pre-installed in Windows XP.

For Windows XP users
Before using a Fujifilm FinePix digital camera and its software on Windows XP,
