Cannot download pictures using zoom browser ex with my camera Canon SD450 in my Wwindows Vista laptop. Laptop doesn't open automatically the download window as in with XP. Also, I cannot open Canon Camera Window to open it.

If you've tried "add or remove programs" in the control panel and have had no success, try this. Go to "start", "search", and search for Canon Zoom Browser. Delete all entries that come up in the search.

Just bought a Zipp DP605 digital photo keyring and the software isnt recognised on my laptop. We have wwindows Vista.. please help, this is a xmas gift and i want to put photos on!

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use Canon ZoomBrowser or any other photo cataloging program.

You need to install the drivers for your camcorder, before you conncet your camcorder to your PC.

The drivers are in the CD which came with your camcorder. follow these steps

1- inser the CD( If you do not have your CD go the link below to download it

2- select install drivers
3- after drivers are installed, Connect your camcorder to your PC, turn it on and follow the screen untill it states your camcorder is installed and ready
4- Now if you click start, then computer you should see an icon which has all or part of canon powershot SD450. Double click on this icon. You would see one or more folders with your pictures and videos stored in it.

You may now download, copy, delete etc all of them.

Download the most recent version of Zoom Browser from Canon.

You do not need any sort ZOOM BROWSER. Try Picasa from Google. It is free and works way better than any OEM proprietal browser.

If you have a Vista, it is not compatible. It will not download the Zoom browser. I had to purchase a Memory card reader/writer to download pics on my laptop from my camera and by passing the printer.

Should just be a common USB mini cable, most cameras have this interface and Vista will automatically see the camera wiht its generic drivers. I use Picasa to download all my photos from 6 different cameras to my desktop and my laptop.

Zoom Browser doens't work on my Windows Vista with my EOS 350 D.
You can use Paint for downloading the pictures, that works on my Laptop. But it takes too much time. It is boring. Canon doesn't do a good job.

maybe the lemonade was sticky and the shutter can't open? otherwise the circuitry could have been fried if you turned it on before it dried inside.
