Hello all,
I'm new to the forum, but have had my t1i for about 10-15 years (basaically upgraded from the t5i when the t1i first became available).
My issue is that I do not have the CD to run the utility software. I downloaded DPP and Photo Editor, but I am unable to shoot remotely without the utility download. When I attempt to run the update, it won;t let me because I haven't downloaded the original utility software. I do not have a CD drive on my laptop. I am wondering if there is a file anywhere I can download to run the remote shooting capability on DPP.
Thank you kindly,
Rich 
Welcome to the forum.
Go to the Canon support site for your camera and choose either the Windows 7 OS or the Yosemite macOS.
Then you will see the option to download the CD image.
