Is there ANYONE here that can tell me where the h311 I can find the VISTA driver for this camera?
Polaroid has a pretty good camera, but they dont like to support, or taking the time to set up the drivers needed to continue using the camera...... Hmmmm, sounds like they do this on purpose so you have to buy a NEW camera.... whatever! anyway, I need the driver. can anyone help?
Thanks, Shadow

Why do you *need* a driver?
In general you don't, since you never need to attach the camera to the computer. It's usually easiest and best to take the media card out of the camera and put it into an inexpensive USB reader to copy the pictures from the media to the computer.

If you have a cord that connects the camera to a USB port, when you turn on the camera and go to My Computer, you should see another drive such as Removable Drive F. --

A card reader is very inexpensive. I have two, on of which I use with my desktop at home, and the other I keep with my laptop when traveling. They were each well under $10 US.
By the way, what happens if you connect the camera with the USB card and no driver? That should work.
