rose_duclos Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ok, I've attempted 4 times already to download the k10d 130 update, and each time, It's taking forever to do, and then I get an error message that stops me before it's complete. 4 times - the same message - - "Internet Explorer cannot download k10e130w.exe from www.pentaximaging.com. An internal error occured in Microsoft internet extensions." Has this happened to anyone else? Any recommendations on how I can fix it? I know it's a good update, and I want it. But I'm baffled on how to get it, now. Help? -Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry thirsty Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Try a different browser. I just tried it in Firefox; it took about 4-5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ok, good suggestion, I'm trying it right now. It's still going really slow. my fingers are crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 10 minutes later, and it's still downloading. I've only downloaded 255 kb? ... This is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ok, now I got a different error message from firefox. after 40 minutes of downloading, and only about 300 kb worth ... (so slow) the error message reads: "C:\documents and settings\rose duclos\desktop\k10e130w.exe.part could not be saved,, because the source file could not be read. try again later, or contact the server administrator." At this rate, I think I'm going to wait until I see my friends tomorrow and see if I have better luck on one of their computers. All this waiting around for the download did have a one positive effect - It gave me time to play around some more with the menus on the camera, and I think I figured out why my pictures were coming out so yellow without the flash (indoors at night). I still need that upgrade though. Oh well. If Im getting up for early for that nature walk, I should be getting into bed. I'll post to let you know how it goes, tomorrow. -Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william-porter Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 <p>Rose,</p> <p>For me the download happened so fast I wasn't able to time it -- about 1 second.</p> <p>It's possible that Pentax's server was having a problem when you were trying. It could also be that there was a relay problem between wherever you are and Pentax's server -- sort of a traffic problem on the Internet. Try again tomorrow.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_kuhne Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I got part of mine done for my K100D but could get no further than installing the installation mechanism on my desktop. I called Pentax and I guess I need to install some kind of unzipper or ziplock opener, available from some website.. nice to get things that work smoothly with no hasstle, heh?

jacques c pelletier Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Rose, this happened to me once before, with another dowload; the problem was a "bug" on my system, taken care of by AdAware. Perhaps this is not the reason why you have problems downloading, but do run a scan of your entire system ... just in case. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew_ng7 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I upgraded mine last weekend and found the download to be quite fast. In firefox, it pretty much finished just after I clicked ok in the save to window. I also tried the MAC version and it was pretty fast too, but did take a moment longer. here's the link I'm using: http://www.pentaximaging.com/customer_care/show_firmware?firmId=8793673 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 I didn't make it over to the friends house today, after all. I am trying to do the download again - on both firefox and IE simultaneously. Both extremely slow, Firefox seems slightly quicker than IE, but not much. I am also attempting to download the adware program, and that's also extremely slow going. I must have something seriously wrong with my computer. If this continues to act like this, I may beg one of you to email me the zipped file. Luckily, my email is still working at the correct speed. Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I really appreciate it. -Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacques c pelletier Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 As I mentioned earler, try scanning your computer for bugs. If nothing shows up at least you will have tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_ng7 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I'll email it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thank you for all the advice, everyone. Andrew emailed the update to me and it's now installed in my camera. It's to late in the day to play with these new features tonight (after midnight here). It was a fantastic weekend for photos. The new england foliage has finally decided to change, and it's positively splendid out there. :) I hiked around a place down in the south shore (Boston) on Saturday - a place called "World's End". If anyone is looking for spots to see nature, near the city - I'm recommending it. It's next to the water. There's lots of beautiful rock outcrops, and yes, trees - so many trees. It was my first time there, and since it's off the beaten path - relatively low key. I only saw a few people there, walking their dogs. Thanks again, all. Much appreciate the advice and help. -Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerald_silverman Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Rose, I am having a similar problem. when I download to my MAC, the program will not open. the message is that "this program cannot open with Adobe", and I can't get it to open with anything else. I am a little new to MAC, so maybe that's why. Any help would be greatly appreciated. GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 GS, I was extremely lucky - I had the version I needed emailed to me. I think my problem was more that I have a slow connection, more than having an issue with the software itself. I had similar problems downloading ADWare, too. If your computer is opening it with the wrong software, it sounds like you may need to do some programming to stop that. Technically you aren't running the program on your computer. You are only clicking on it, to make the two files - one, the read file, the other (a "bin"). The bin portion is what is moved over to the blank SD card. Maybe someone on here uses a MAC knows how to stop ADOBE from opening? Or can send you the opened file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_schoedel Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 GS, Pentax is, for some strange reason, using an archive format that was popular years ago on pre- OS X Macs. Download Stuffit Expander from <a href="http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/index.html">here</a> and use that to open the file (K10E130M.hqx). <p> - OR - <p> Download DropUnLHA from <a href="http://www.fan.gr.jp/~sakai/lha.php">here</a> and use it to open the <i>Windows</i> version of the firmware (k10e130w.exe).
