Installing software for new canon digital camera

Assuming this is actually a Canon IXUS 82 IS (not an 8215 which doesn't exist), I found on page 20 of its user manual that you have to do the following:
Slide the Mode switch to the top setting Press the Func. Set button Press the right or left arrow until you see the camera icon that stand for "Auto" (see manual) Use the up and down arrows to select the "L" Use the right or left arrow to select the last icon at the right that looks like a clock in front of a picture Press the DISP button Use the right or left arrow to de-select [Date/Time]
I suggest that you look at the user manual directly, since some of the above doesn't make a lot of sense without seeing the icons.

Thanks for using FixYa and Happy New Year!

This works for Windows98

1. Uninstall the Canon camera software.
2. Search for "Canon" in the registry. Delete ALL references associated with Canon camera in the registry. Just uninstalling the software will not work. Do not delete any other references to Canon products (printers, etc).
3. Re-install the Canon camera software.

I've had to do this several times. Works every time.

have a look at the canon site for drivers/software for the SD450 (IXUS 55)

Go to Canon web side and download to your computer the relevant drivers for your camera and OS. It should solve your problem. Good luck!
