I own an S3 IS. I have just loaded Windows 7 on my PC and installed the Canon Digital Camera Solutions Disc. I have tried running Camera window and it doesn't run. Both Canon and Microsoft web sites states that S3 IS is compatible with Windows 7. How do I download my photos?

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 Windows Photo Gallery or any other photo cataloging program.

SOURCE: Cannot load software cd that came with camera

If you do not have the software, you need to download the software from one of the following locations:

Official Canon Drivers and Software

Canon USA:DRIVER & DOWNLOADS

After downloading is finished, unplug the USB and run the software that you downloaded.
The software installer will tell you when to connect USB.

Some Canon device may not be Vista compatible and cannot work on Vista.

SOURCE: Canon PowerShot S3 IS & Windows 7

This is correct. The S3 is discovered by windows 7 and will allow download of pictures by Windows Picture download. The Canon Utilities software - Zoombrowser - will not work with windows 7 as the software cannot detect the Camera via Windows 7.. Also, Camera window will not start, if using the PC/laptop for remote image recording. If you virtualise XP within Windows 7 this still will not work. The only solution at the moment, if you are deperate, like I was (as I use the Remote Capture process a lot), is to either stick with Win Xp or Dual boot XP on a smaller partition.

Incompatibility between canon EOS XTi and windows 7

Your problem is that Canon have not yet released a Windows 7 driver for your camera.

You might be able to run the software you have if you set Windows 7 to "compatibility mode". This makes your current software believe that it's running on a pc using an earlier version of Windows.

Sounds like you may have some corruption beginning on your hard disk - try running CHKDSK /F from an administratively-enabled command prompt. It will prompt you to reboot, then it will run a consistency check on the disk and its filesystem upon booting.

Software installation problems

You do not need software for the computer to read the camera to upload images. The supplied disc with digital cameras is best left in the box let windows do the work If you would like an images editor then downloaf Picasa which is free or invest in a full editing software such as Coral paintshop pro or one of the Serif range
