I think this EF-S 18-55mm Lens http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/reviews/18-55.html will suit for your Canon EOS 350D .

When choosing a lens for your Digital Rebel XT, look for EF or EF-S on the lens. Film lenses with the EF designation will work on your digital camera, but AF or older lenses will not fit. Trying to force them on may damage your camera.
When using a film lens on a digital camera, there will be a 1.6x conversion factor. This means that a 50mm lens will be closer to a 70mm lens in reality.

Try going to Canon's website and updating your drivers AND you firmware.

You need live view to see the subject on the screen. Does your camera model have it?

I'm afraid the Canon Rebel does NOT have an internal memory for storing pictures. Any pictures taken without a card installed will be lost.

lens is defective, try to use another lens to confirm it.

If you're talking about seeing the image prior to taking the picture, like on most point and shoot digital cameras, that is NOT a function available on the Digital Rebel, XT, or XTI.
