Title: a problem with 5D driver
Post by: f64 on January 03, 2010, 10:31:45 AM
Hello,

I need some help please...

I have an old 5D, bought at 2007. Sometimes I use it remotely via eos utility, and without any problems.
Now I reinstall my XP, update it and try to install eos utility - it doesn't work. While installing, eos wia rapi driver doesn't want to install. Thinking that the CD is corrupt, I tried to find the driver on the net, but without success.
I install the driver for 5D (WIA Driver 5.7.0 for Windows XP) downloaded from official Canon's site, but my PC tells me that cannot find the camera.I see, that the driver on my CD doesn't match with the driver on Canon's site. Where is my mistake?
Thank you very much!

Hey man, that sounds like a riddle...something like the world has come to an end.
Nothing seems to function.
My estimation is that you have some "dll libraries" missing in your new installation...
Have you used the same CD that you had before ?
Are your drivers updated ?

Is yous system otherwise OK ?
Are your USB drivers OK ?
See if your device manager has any question-marks...

Perhaps you can provide some more information.

We'll sort it out, don't worry !
