Digital Camera Picture Downloads

I have a Nikon D80 Digital Camera. HP laptop computer, with Vista Home os.
When i try to download pictures using usb, the camera is recognized, but
message pops up saying it needs to download software. Systems search for
software but does not find it. Nikon says I'm missing a ptpusb.inf driver.
Anyone have any informaton or help regarding this issue?

Thanks in advance

Nikon comes with its own software called Nikon Capture. It should be on a CD
in the camera box. Have you loaded that? Possibly the music_pictures_video
newsgroup can provide more info for you.
