| 559677 | 2007-06-15 23:57:00 | I have a Powershot S45. I do have the Driver for it on XP. However, Canon have not yet (if ever they will) released drivers for Vista. I have plugged my camera into Vista and yes there is a Removable Drive showing. However, when I click on the Drive it asks for me to install the media into the disk so I am lost. The camera has the media but Vista doesn't recognise it. Have you checked on Canon.com? I understood that you could get the driver from there for XP. It may take a little searching though. |

| 559678 | 2007-06-16 00:42:00 | I have plugged in 2 types of Canon Cameras into my computer via the USB cable with no problems to upload photo's to my PC. One was a Canon Power Shot A80 Canon Powershot A710 IS currant model, with no problems. I have also plugged in some cheap $100 camera into my PC with no problems. You shouldn't need to install drivers. From memory when you first plug your camera in you get the found new hardware message and then the Windows XP photo program starts and then shows you the photos on your camera. I think there maybe something wrong with your PC. Trevor :) |

As its a normal cam as well as a webcam. But it still brought up the hardware wizard asking for the drivers. I cant remember whether it worked without the drivers tho. I didnt give XP enough time to think about it :D I installed the drivers anyway. |

| 559681 | 2007-06-16 06:44:00 | I have a Canon Powershot A550. I would like to transfer the photos from the camera to my computer. However, I don't have the original installation CD or a card reader. It would be much less hassle for you to purchase a card reader. There are external USB readers available for quite cheap which can be used on any PC with spare USB ports and many different types of cards, depending on which card reader you choose. Also, downloading photos using a card reader is much quicker than using a USB cable. |
