it is one of those specific ones for the camera with the tiny connector to the camera on one end and the normal usb on the other.
The computer can recognize that something is connected, it just wont recognize the camera itself. The driver doesnt have a record of that specific nikon model, so i tried updating the driver and it didnt do anything. Im not much of a computer person, obviously, but i can usually trouble shoot little things like this.... im at a total loss with this stupid camera. I mean, i can take out the memory card and transfer the photos at like CVS or something, but that could get costly in the long run.
