I have a canon powershot G3. Now I have changed from window XP to Windows 8.i and I can´t find any drivers. What can I do?

Do you even need to install drivers? Many are now already built into operating systems. Try plugging the camera in via the USB cable and see what happens.

It's one reason I've stuck with Win 7... several softwares I use simply aren't available for Win 8.

Sometimes the software will contain hardware specific drivers whereas Windows only general. I do not know in this case which it is.I know I've used the G5 ans SX5IS on W8 as well as my new SX50HS with no issues.

I made the mistake of ugrading from W7 to W8 and regret it. Plus there is no way to go back without a complete reinstallation of W7. W8 maybe ok for touchscreen tablets but for computers not so much in my opinion.
