The CD that came with my camera is not initializing properly.

Pam,

This is usually up my alley.

Sometimes hardware needs to be plugged in before you start up the computer and the pc will recognize it on start up.

Try that if you have not.

Also make sure that the software is actually installed. Sometimes you have to open and install it after downloading it.

Let me know.

I run into the same problem... only way the fool thing works is to right click 'my computer,' click on properties, then device manager... down at the bottom of the list you should see usb stuff and your camera... delete it, unplug the camera, and restart... when your camera is plugged in and turned on, it should start walking you through the install process. Is it an Olympus by any chance?
