CrA-Z I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

CHANGING THE CONNECTION MODE TO PTP DOES THE TRICK!!!!

ALL SYSTEMS GO!

Have you tried uninstalling the drivers completely, then changing the camera
connection mode (in the camera) to PTP (i think thats what its called).
This is how i use mine under XP. When you connect the camera it should be
auto detected and then function under the 'camera and scanner wizard' or be
accessible under 'my computer'
Not sure if the dRebel has this function though.
I have not tried mine under vista but if i do and it works i will post back
here.

Cheers

Woogbear,

I'm seeing the same thing with my dRebel. I installed the XP WIA driver, and
I get the same message. Help says it's supposed to pop up and say Import
with Windows, or at least that's supposed to be one of the options.
Hopefully an update is forthcoming from either Canon or Microsoft to resolve
this issue. It's a showstopper for me. I'm running Vista in VMWare until I
get all the drivers working. I know it's Beta, so it may not show up until
just after RTM, but I'm hoping it's sooner.

If anyone else has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Card reader isn't an
option, it doesn't recognize the orientation of the pictures the way loading
them direct does.

Thanks,

TowerDave

I cannot get Vista to import pictures from my Canon EOS 20D digital SLR
camera. The software from the CD installed fine. When i try to import the
pictures from the camera, a pop up says, 'Microsoft office Document
Scanning
does not support this type of device.' I had no problem with the Picture
and
Fax viewer in Windows XP importing the pictures.

Is there a work around for this? Am I doing something wrong? Please email
me
privately at;

or post a reply here.

Thanks,

William
