It seems as though it's proving a challenge to get the docucam and the PC connected to one another. Here are some photos to show the connections - though I realise my laptop isn't the same as yours! Nevertheless, the pale grey cable which comes with the docucam should have a USB plug on each end, identified by this three pronged symbol. It should fit easily into the USB socket on the laptop, wherever it may be - perhaps on the other side of yours?
There's the same symbol on the docucam so you can see which socket it fits - though it's the only rectangular one there.
Now, I know you are clever people and you would have worked this out for yourselves already - which is why I wonder if you have the right cable?!?

Hi Gill,
Thanks for the photos and guidelies, I shall use those next week. Could you advise on uploading a video clip onto Blogg? Also, for some reason, every time I want to add a comment on our Blogg ccount I have to give email address twice, password, is this the case for everyone? Bye for now, Lizzie
the grey lead that came with my kit does not have a USB connection at both ends - one end is a USB and the other end is a much smaller connector. Could I pick up a lead with USB both ends (if you have one) or I could try to get one myself. This makes sense, because when I tried, I felt it should have had USB both ends.
Aha. I thought as much. I think you have the wrong cable there.
I would think that any usb-usb cable would do - though if you are in Gloucester, it might be worth popping into the office and swapping it for the correct one which has clearly been misplaced with something else (the mimio?)
Might be worth emailing Serena or Julie about it first. They might even pop one in the post to you if you smile nicely!
