So I've bought the Transformers Digital Camera... took some photos, but then when I plugged it into my computer via USB I can't access the camera. I opened My Computer and there's no icon showing the camera is plugged in. I've installed all the software from the CD-ROM that comes with it and everything but still... nothing

Common sense, I know, but try another port dude.
If that fails, try taking some other USB device out, that isn't necessary and try again.
Failing that the only two other things I can think of off the top of my head is to reset the computer and try again and/or:

Right click on My Computer and select Properties.
Next, click on the Hardware tab.
Now, click on the Device Manager button.
Finally, Right Click on the computer icon at the top of the tree and select Scan for Hardware Changes.
(Windows XP Professional )

What may happen, is that Windows will scan for any Hardware additions to, or removals from, the system and hopefully it'll detect the camera as either an external disk or thumb-drive or as seperate device.

I had to do this a number of times at Tafe in order to get my 1Tb external hard drive to be recognised.

Does anyone know if the photos in the link bellow are actually the Transformers United toys and not place holder Hasbro pics?

Several pictures such as Jazz and Tracks look the same as Hasbro's but are clearly promos as they are displayed and photographed as such. I was hoping for a bit more difference between the Hasbro and Takara-Tomy versions as it was with Universe & Henkei.

Both Jazz and Tracks' photos have the Japanese text embedded saying they're the international versions and will be different on final version.
