[toby841]

I am looking for the orginal software that came with the 1d mark 2 camera i bought one on ebay and need to change my name and setting ...EOS Viewer Utility (ver. 1.2) ; EOS Capture (ver 1.2)   Digital Photo Professional (ver. 1.5)

Besides the software you need a computer with a firewire port & running an older Operating system. Windows XP & maybe Vista are the last ones that will allow connecting to the camera via the Firewire cable. No idea what OS you need with a Mac.

Well this may be easier than it looked. I have the Original CD's for my 1D2n & 1Ds2 and a copy of the disc from my 5D and they all seem to have versions of the Viewer software with a 1. xx designation which makes me think the 20D & 30D and maybe even the 40D had the right program to communicate with the camera. You should be able to download the right driver for the camera from Support & Drivers at the Canon site.
