My new, Canon-refurb 400D simply refuses to connect to my XP PC via USB. The PC detects the new device but as it is shown as 'dcp connect', there are no drivers for it. I've read in other forums that this may be caused by the camera having been left in Service Mode by mistake (by Canon technicians). Anybody else come across that? If so, is there a user solution? Thanks

Hi Sean here,

Just bought a new Canon EOS Rebel XSi - EOS 450D, and for some reason on a new laptop, the Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk, Ver 18.1 won't install. I just tried to install it, but all it does is give me an error message regarding: .NET Framework 2.0, and something to do with it being tied into Vongo? Does anyone know what that is? is it a program, that was pre loaded on to my laptop?

I tried several times to load the software, but after the first time, it pops up a help window, that allows me to repair the problem, or uninstall it. I've tried numerous times to repair it, even going step by step by way of the Microsoft website.

But, it didn't seem to help. It acts like it is fixing the problem, says all is well when it's done, then I click the finish icon, and the install wizard gives me all this jargon about how the programs I selected to have installed, didn't install corrrctly, etc. Just want to move my pictures, from the new camera to my lap top.

I do have a USB card reader, would using that instead help any? It also says in the manual, that I can't install the transfer cable provided, & turn on the camera w/out loading the solution disk first.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

~Sean

This camera does not require a driver on windows XP. The most common cause of USB related communication issues is the USB cord itself. Second most common cause is the USB port on the camera as they are easily damaged. You can fix the problem by buying a USB card reader instead of plugging the camera directly into your PC. If you use the camera's USB port it will eventually fail, they simply can not last through years of plugging and unplugging and the bumping around associated with use of the on board USB port. With the card reader you simply remove the memory card from the camera, plug it into the reader and then proceed to get your pictures. It is simple, reliable, and all around the best solution to this and all problems related to communicating with your camera over USB.

One problem i noticed are bent pins and i find it really risky to take out the CF card and insert to card reader and after downloading ,re-inserting the CF back into camera.It is a design problem and i wish they can correct it!In the meantime,i love the usb way!

I agree with Guest but i have a problem..if you click on the camera and go to explore,you will see all those files ready to be copied.You can select all and then "Copy to " wherever you want..Now the problem...Windows cannot read the RAW files and will transfer those files as JPEG...

I tested my camera on settings : RAW and Large Fine..It will see the RAW and change it to another Large Fine.What you get are double copies of everything in jpeg format inside your PC.The original RAW still exists in your CF card so keep it and if anyone here sees this problem,their input is very much needed!Thanks..

Try plugging in the camera to the usb port and then go to the control panel. Under scanners and cameras, look for the connected camera. I think if you right click on it and go to properties, you may be able to get the windows file download wizard to start when the camera is first plugged in.

Computer does not recognize my canon eos rebel xti 400D

You can download the driver aand reinstall it from this link: http://www.nodevice.com/driver/EOS_400D/get37008.html Make sure your existing Canon software, if any, is removed before installing the new driver. If this doesn't work you can always purchase a card reader and extract your photos directly from the memory card.

I just installed the camera software on a new PC running Windows 7. It seems to have installed properly, but the software does not recognize the camera. I get a "Camer not recognized" error.

http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010371.asp
get here and download and install all related software with windows7 ..cause in the software you installed the driver is not present..and this is the reason that the camera is not recognized
also ..if you have the driver disk ..and it has the driver for windows 7 (or for vista on 32 at least ..) insert the disk ..and the camera ..and go to control panel and run the add new hardware wizard..and try to let it find the driver automatically from the disk ..
if it do not find the driver .install all related software from the support site I linked you ..cause it is not specified which one contains the driver and which not ..but I assume that the ones that are made for browsing photos .have the driver inside..

EOS Utility does not recoganize Canon Rebel Xti

I believe there are 2 modes of usb transfer that you can pick in the camera. They are set somewhere in the menu in the options. If you go through the menus thoroughly you'll find it. One option is for connecting the camera directly to a printer and the other is for computer transfer (there might also be an Auto setting but I don't remember for sure). Make sure that setting is set for computer transfer. If that doesn't fix your problem, re-install or update EOS Utility / ZoomBrowser.

EOS 400D Digital Camera Software

Hi
If you bought your camera (400D) new it would have come with RAW conversion software on a disk. You can start by installing this. To get the photos off the camera you should be able to plug it in vis the USB cable that came with it. The better way would be to buy a card reader. This is a lot quicker, save on battery wear and tear, or save you plugging in the power.

Alternative software would be to buy Adobe Photoshop Elements for the RAW processing. This is a good start for most people.

Screen resolution not sufficient to install ver.30.0 software.

I had the same issue with my Netbook. In order to get the software onto my netbook I had to use an external monitor. I set up my HD monitor as the main monitor through the graphics driver. I set the main monitor from notebook to monitor. Then I installed the package and set the main screen back to notebook. I can use the EOS Utility which allows my to download my raw images and remotely control my camera, but I cannot run DPP. I hope this is of help

It does come with software but if you are running XP it should pick up the camera when you put it in play mode and load the generic drivers for it after it loads the drivers check in my computer to see if their is a diffrent drive letter.
