Canon EOS-300D not seen by computer/not turning on
We cannot use the download pic software as error message says USB in use. Now when we go to turn on camera, nothing happens with fully charged Li-ion battery. Do you think actual battery is dead/no longer holds charge or something more major?
My daughter just got back from a trip to the Bahamas where the weather was VERY HOT and she plugged battery charger in there. Any chance heat/diff. plugs effected battery/camera?
Scanner wizard does open but then says USB in use. Now we cannot even turn camera on. I want to find an AC adaptor to trying plugging camera directly into power and see what happens. thanks for your help! And if anyone else has had this happen and fix (or not) please let me know.Scanner wizard does open but then says USB in use. Now we cannot even turn camera on.

Re:
Heat and batteries - maybe
Try another battery
Remove camera software from computer and put the disk in the box.
Plug camera in switch it on and set it to upload mode
Windows should find it as a new drive or[XP/2000/ME] will put up camera/scanner wizard.
Carefully check your voltage- but any multi voltage stabilized power'brick' will do - Wallmart? USB in use.- disconnect all other USB devices . Then go to Control panel/system/hardware/device manager/USB devices- check for yellow warning if all OK simply rollback the drivers.Carefully check your voltage- but any multi voltage stabilized power'brick' will do - Wallmart?

Vista is your problem. Solution...buy an inexpensive card reader to download your pics to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can send the pics to your photo editing software.
I can help you fix the BUSY Error or Error 99 of your Canon EOS 1000D.
Installation of this Canon EOS 1000D firmware version 1.06 update will solve these problems:
Some cameras may exhibit a phenomenon in which the LCD monitor does not display, the shutter does not release, and the BUSY indication remains lit in the viewfinder.
The message, "Err 99 Shooting is not
possible. Turn the power switch to<OFF> and <ON> again or
re-install the battery", appears on the camera's LCD monitor, and after
the above operation is carried out,the LCD monitor displays in a
language that is different from the actual language setting.

There are two was around this: 1) Get an external USB card reader - I recommend this, because it is faster and does not require any software updating 2) Download the latest EOS Utility from the Canon web site; you also need to download the latest drivers. The cameras you name are supported by Vista, but the original software isn't.
2- Install the downloaded software. make sure drivers are installed.
3- Connect your camera to your PC, turn the dail to play and turn it on. It will install the drivers. When it is ready, you are able to download copy, Etc.
You don't need the drivers. All you need is a flash card reader that will plug into your laptop's usb port. Much better than plugging your camera in to your computer. They are really inexpensive.
