I have a Nikon Coolpix 2000 digital camera After a recent hard drive reformat I had to reinstall the software, but unlike before the reformat, I can't transfer the pictures from the camera to the computer. I using Windows 98SE and IE6.

After I connect up the camera, Nikon View 5 will not detect it on the computer. If I press Transfer Image on the camera, I get 'Communications Error' in the camera monitor. If I try to launch Image Transfer from Nikon View 5, I get 'There is no CF card in the connected camera or the Card Reader.'

I've checked the camera and everything else is working fine.

I have also tried an uninstall/install of the software. I've looked around the Nikon sites and can't find anything relevant to my problem. Hoping to get some good advice here.
