When installing the EOS Digital Solution Disk, it keeps stating, "Could not find drivers." I tried three times, same thing. My new computer is a 64 bit, but the software had that option, which i checked. Any ideas?

t_m_conway,

You can download the drivers to the computer you are using now.
One at a time. Keep them in one folder, where you know where they are at.


Then burn them to a disk. Many use thumb drives, but I'll pass.

Put the disk in the 'affected' computers optical drive. (CD/DVD drive)
Go to My Computer. Double-click on the drive letter, that corresponds to the optical drive.

One at a time, double-click on each file name. You are installing each driver, one at a time.

When you double-click on the individual driver file, there will be 3 small windows that come up; one at a time, and in order.

At the bottom of the 3 small windows, click on Next, Next, and Finish.
Then restart the computer.
(Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart)

Now go back, and Double-click on the next driver file. Install it.
And so on, until all driver files needed, are installed.

I appreciate you stated -
"Compaq Presario AMD Athlon 64 GE force 6150 LE"

,but in all due respect it doesn't state what is actually needed.
To break it down on what you stated,

1) Compaq - Computer manufacturer name
2) Presario - Model name
3) AMD - Processor, motherboard chipset, and graphics card manufacturer.

4) Athlon 64 - A line of AMD processors

5) GeForce 6150LE
Graphics chipset information.
The Nvidia GeForce 6150LE is a type of Integrated Graphics.

Integrated Graphics is also known as OnBoard Graphics.
ON the motherBOARD.

Indicates for one, that the graphics chipset is soldered directly to the motherboard, and not a separate graphics adapter card; which is removable.
Therefore replaceable. (Upgrade)

What is needed here, t_m_conway, is the model number.

This can be found on the Back of the computer, in a white Service Tag.
For Compaq computers, and HP computers, it is the Product Number that is needed. Model number information is contained in it, also.

P/N = Product Number.

'Armed' with this information I can guide you step by step, and not post a bunch of generic 'prattle', as I have above.

It is my belief that once you see an example, detailed out on here; that it will become sparkling clear as how to proceed.


Please post back in a Comment.

try doing a system restore to yesterday and then try installing the disk again.

You can do the restore from control panel and inside "Performance and Maintenance"

Please let me know it this still doesn't work and we can go from there in finding a way.

thanks

If you are recovering to a new harddrive, because your original HD crashed or is about to crash or can't boot, then find a tool (GPartEd is free and works) to format the entire disk to an NTFS partition. If you want to split the partition to OS and "other", Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit needs at least 100Gb. Basically: PRE-PARTITION before trying to restore to a new HD. To me, these other answers are misleading.

Use a card reader instead of your camera.

I am not sure about this matter but it seems there is a problem with your new computer. it might not recognize the usb cable.
try to plug your camera in another USB port and try again.

You need to go to software.canon-europe.com. and download new drivers for vista. They have updates for everything you need.

Hi I have exactly the same problem. I'm running Windows Vista Business as the OS and have installed the disk that came with the camera with no avail.

It keeps recognising it as a scanner, but I cannot open the pics. I've tried different cables as well. No use.

Well the best thing to do is to delete all the software. Then Put the disk back in the box Windows will do all you need without it. Extra software for tasks like photo-stitch[Panorama] are all freely available on the web
