Canon EOS Utility Software and WIN 7

Greetings,

I installed my Canon Solutions Software that I received with my 30D years ago on my WIN 7 computer. When I

connect the camera, the computer does not detect. Can you help???

Download the latest version of EOS Utility from the site above and see if the solves the problem.

There are no drivers needed for the computer to see the camera. You do not even need the software and the computer should still see the camera. If it doesn't you need to check out why the computer is not seeing it. Not the software.

If your old software is Win 7 compatible it may serve you better than the newest. Canon will drop some of the older models from time to time.

And of course there is always a card reader. Probably the most compatible of anything.

Ok..let me rephrase. The computer see's the camera. The Canon Utility software does not recognize it...

Because of that It will not start upon connecting the camera to the computer. If I manually start the software, all

camera related options are grayed out on the preference screens.

I will try installing the newer version of the software to see if that works and report my outcome here.

thanks for replying to my question....
