About the Device Detector
You can use the ACDSee Device Detector to access the photos stored on your camera, scanner, mass storage device, or CD and display them using ACDSee.
To start Device Detector:
Click File | Get Photos, and then select ACDSee Device Detector.
After you start the ACDSee Device Detector, it runs in the background and displays a camera icon in the Taskbar Notification area. When you plug a camera or other device into your computer, the Device Detector detects the connection, the icon changes color, and either prompts you to specify what you would like to do with your images, or automatically launches the Photo Transfer Wizard or the Get Photos Wizard.

ACDSee Device Detector replaces the Windows XP AutoPlay feature. To resume AutoPlay functionality, close the ACDSee Device Detector. |
The ACDSee Device Detector can also detect when you insert a CD into your CD-ROM drive, or attach a mass storage or Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) device to your computer. Such devices may include cameras, card readers, Web cams, and scanners.
If your device does not have a TWAIN or WIA driver installed, is not a mass storage device, or if there are no files on your device, ACDSee Device Detector will not be able to detect it.
For more detailed information about using the Device Detector, click the camera icon in the Taskbar Notification area and select Help.
