Hi Ed,

We have retested the software with the camera using Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the camera and software is working without problems. Have you tried removing the software and re-installing.

Many Thanks,

Team Panasonic

(Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP-1)
– Purchased Aug. 2010
– This camera operates just like a “Personal Computer”.
– With the large LCD screen, selecting files, and operations, is very user friendly.
– The “Intelligent Auto” mode button, is also very helpful.
– For download, there is a “direct” USB communication port from the camera, to the personal computer.

Supplied Software:
(Panasonic PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0)
– Latest updated available software: Version 5.00 L209

My Operating System:
– Windows XP Home Edition – Service Pack 3
– Firewall = Yes (Zone Alarm)
– Anti Virus = Yes (Vipre)

Pro:
– The camera works great.
– The personal computer, does recognize that there is a new USB connection.

Con:
– The supplied and “updated” communication software, does “NOT” operate or communicate, with the personal computer, or camera.
– The personal computer will go into ‘lock up” doing new “hardware” searching.

Questions:
– Where and / or when, will Panasonic release a software program, with the correct software drivers, so one can down load their files, from the camera, to their personal computer ?
– Why is there “no” Panasonic technical help, to revolve this issue, with other Windows versions ?

I would only give this a very poor “Product Review”, due to a very unstable or non operating, supplied, software.
