XP Doesn't Recognize Camera, etc. K 05-27-2008

The morning after a storm a couple weeks ago my unit wouldn't start and
showed a message explaining something about a missing registry entry. The
CompuDoc came in but couldn't restore the missing registry entry so he wiped
the disc and reinstalled most everything. All went well except the first time
I tried to download pics from my camera. The unit no longer recognized my
camera when I pluged it in. When I called the CompuDoc, we discovered he
failed to turn on one of the necessary drivers. He talked me thru that but it
didn't help the camers situ. Since then I've discovered when I select Save As
then click My Computer it takes 30 seconds of searching to find and open it.
Once open navigation within My Computer is normal. If I close then reopen My
Computer it takes another 30 seconds. In addition, I plugged my flash drive
into a usb port. Once plugged in the flash drive shows up in My Computer.
When I was ready to remove it, the Remove Safely icon is no longer in the
system tray. This unit has Windows XP. I never can remember how to find out
what version so I can't provide that info right now. It would be nice to get
my unit to recognize my camera and to speed up My Computer and the Save As
function. Has anyone ever experienced something like this before? All ideas,
comments, and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

This group is for Windows Media Center issues, repost to one of the XP
groups, general or hardware would be a good place to start.
