TWAIN stands for

Technology
Without
An
Interesting
Name

To loose a driver you must have done something to your COMPUTER

The question is what?

have you added anything else, changed anything?

What operating system does you computer have

 

I'm quite puzzled Patricia as it appears that you have suddenly got 2 PCs and one laptop that have decided not to talk to your camera or vice-versa. My gut reaction suggests either a camera, camera memory card or interconnecting lead fault. I'll come back to this in a minute.

A TWAIN driver is a bit of software usually supplied with a scanner that allows your photo-editing/aquistion program to copy images from scanner to computer. I can't see any reason why a missing TWAIN driver should prevent download of pics from a camera.(BTW - TWAIN = Thing Without An Interesting Name)

U32prod.dll is part of Ulead Photo Explorer. Presumably you've been using Ulead. I've put some links regarding this below. You can find site where you can obtain it by Googling. But be careful to download a safe version and virus scan your download as it appears they may be a virus infected version about.

Right..back to the first question. Have you tried connecting your camera and then looking in "My Computer" to see if the camera shows up as a drive? If it does you can drag and drop the files to the computer.
If it doesn't show either its a cable fault, a faulty memory card or camera. OR you should try reinstalling the camera software.

With regard to simply viewing your pics, if you don't want to try to fix Ulead you could try "Irfan View" - it's an excellent free picture viewer that handles several image formats. I installed on on several PCs in school and it was great (also saved a few bob!)

U32Prod.dll problems appear to be common - here two links about it.

Don't know if this has helped much but get back with any more info you have and I'll try to help.

If you are using any version of WindowsXP, go to START - HELP and SUPPORT - and under PICK A TASK click on SYSTEM RESTORE and follow the instructions on screen. That fixes lots of problems such as you are experiencing.
