File Name
Uploader Notes
These driver files are for the Sharp Digital Still Cameras, models VE-CG30U and VE-CG40U.
Sharp does not provide an easy executable (.exe) file as part of their installation software, so installing the driver files may be tricky for novice PC users. Sharp uses the New Hardware Wizard to install the driver files. For best results, create a folder on your PC (I recommend naming it SharpDriverFiles) so you can easily find them, and download the driver files to this folder.
After you attach your camera to your PC and press the download button, your PC should detect the camera as a USB device, and the New Hardware Wizard opens. Select “Install from a list or specific location” and browse to the folder you downloaded the driver files to, then click next.

In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose "All Apps" -> swipe or scroll right and choose "Control Panel" (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager
In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button
How to Install a driver from Device Manager
Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
Select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.
In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
