Code 19 error with USB digital camera

When I plug in any USB digital camera to my Sony laptop, Windows finds the
new hardware (disk drive), and installs it, but then the hardware cannot work
due to the following error:

"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration
information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. To fix this problem
you can first try running a Troubleshooting Wizard. If that does not work,
you should uninstall and then reinstall the hardware device. (Code 19)"

This happens with any camera (not just mine) and with the built-in sony
memory card reader.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

 

What's happening, is your camera and card reader are supposed to show up as a removable device in your computer. The CODE 19 would fall under this category and therefore, you SHOULD be able to resolve this problem by following instructions from Microsoft, which are:

This is from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125174/en-us#E04G0ABAAA

Otherwise, you could also try: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q314060 if you had or have Roxio Easy CD Creator installed.

Hope this helps !!

Otherwise, the only other time this would come up, is if a COM port needs to be enabled in the BIOS, which I doubt is the case here.
