I have had a Rebel XT for about a year now and all the software to download my pictures was on my old laptop, with Windows XP. I recently bought a laptop with windows Vista, and I installed all the software for my camera from the CD's (EOS Utility, Camera Window, Zoombrowser, etc) but when I attach my camera to my computer and open the EOS utility, I cannot upload any pictures to my computer, it doesn't recognize that my camera is even plugged in.
Well, that worked perfectly. Turn on your Rebel XT camera and under Menu then Tools go to Communication and set it to Print/PTP. Thank you to all you very smart people!
Thanks!!
The Canon website does not work because Vista does not recognize the driver. However, the PTP setting does work.
Whew (it took me quite a while to get to this solution).
Try changing the communication settings on the last tab in the menu to Print/PTP. It worked for me. Vista would then recognize the camera - however it does not use any drivers from Canon for download.
PTP was the setting I needed too! With mny new Vista 64-bit PC, I spent hours trying to get the drivers installed for my Rebel XT using Canon's instruction to set the camera's Communication mode to "PC Connection." BAD ADVICE! Setting it to PTP was all I needed to do.
For Vista 64 bit OS:
* set camera to PTP as referenced in other solutions
*ALSO go into Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Autoplay and change the "Pictures" setting to "View/Download images using Canon Zoombrowser EX"
*ALSO scroll down on that same screen to Devices. Should see your device listed (mine is a Digital Rebel XT). Set this to "Import pictures using windows.
When you connect your camera, you will get a small pop-up function window "Importing Pictures and Videos". Tag the pics, if you like. Choose to erase them from the memory card if you like. Pics are available to be viewed in normal Canon ZoomBrowser software.
Better than using a card reader or clicking and dragging pics from one program to another.
Hope this helps... it keeps me from tearing my hair out.
I had the same problem and then figured it out!
- You might need to go to the canon website and install any drivers for your operating system. (Including the RAW driver)
- Next, you will need Photoshop CS or later
- Open up photoshop. Go to File > Import and you should see the Rebel XT on this list. Import images this way
The computer does this because you're not importing jpg images but RAW.
Dear Skathe:
please uninstall the drivers and then download the drivers for windows vista and install it.
Please click on the link below and download the driver with file VU600EN.exe
EOS USB WIA Driver 6.0.0 for Windows Vista
then install the drivers.

please let me know if this works.

I contacted Cannon - they suggested this and it works: Set the camera to creative mode, access menu, go to last yellow tab, select communication type, set it to PTP, power off the camera, connect it to the PC and power it on. The camera will now be recognized as external storage and you can download your pictures
I had same problem. I tried the Canon customer support and got similar advice Muhammed gave, along with several additional steps to try. None of them worked. The only thing that worked was the above suggestion of setting the camera itself to the PTP for the communication setting of the menu.
It's too bad you have do do this work around, it does not allow for the same level of control as the pc communication setting.
You can set the Camera to PTP comms in its menu window then Vista 64 will work apart from Camera remote control....
PTP worked! Thanks!
Any suggestions for Vista 64-bit? I tried the Vista driver on the link offered by Mohammed and it did not work. Said to check the environment for suitability.
I was having the same issue that everyone else is having. The Tech from Canon was trying to help the best that he/she could. While I was reading the step-by-step instructions from the Tech. I decided to plug in the camera, go to my computer, double click on the camera under folders. You will see removable storage, a folder DCIM and then a list of canon folders (123Canon, 124Canon, 125Canon, 126Canon, 127Canon).
Click on each one (or if you know how you took your pictures) until you find your pictures. Go to Edit, select the pictures you want to copy, click on edit again and select copy to folder. At this point you have the opportunity to create/name a file folder for your pictures. Good luck.

I downloaded what Mohamed had mentioned from the Canon website and it works! My Rebel is ready to roll!! Thanks...Shelly
I purchased my Canon EOS 350D and used the supplied CD's to download the necessary utilities on my Windows XP notebook. When I installed MS Vista, I can't connect the camera to the notebook anymore and hence can't download pics from the camera.
its not working!!
canon 350d can't view pictures on computer. Is there a free download?
same problem. downloaded driver for vista & the computer doesn't recognize it. according to canon you were supposed to get past that to install anyway, but it offers no other options but essentially " ha ha you're screwed"
Problem looks to be confined to those of us running 64 bit Vista. Canon needs to get cracking on this. Specifically, the WIA driver is supporting 32 bit Vista but not 64 bit. The only work around is to get an external CF card reader to download images. The 32bit apps (EOS Utility, Digital Photo Professional, Stitcher) do work. I can only hope the USB WIA driver is forthcoming.
Does not work with my Vista either.I downloaded then even tried canon's recommended download when using with vista and still not working.
same problem with with vista x64 ... ;(
cannot download pictures b/c computer won't recognize camera
Canon Rebel XT EOS won't download pictures to my laptop using the Vista
Same trouble here. My work-around has been using a cardreader (on scanner/printer) but wow, can't wait to not have to go through the rigamarole.
PTP comms worked for me!!!
Same problem. What a Pain.
Vista Windows Update cannot find a driver for the Canon product. :(
I have the exact same problem. I recently updated Norton Internet Security and since then, my laptop will not identify when the Rebel XT camera is hooked up to the computer through a USB cord? Help please... :(
Thank you! The PTP setting worked for me too. What a PITA.
I have vista 64 bit and Canon says they do not support this version for a driver. What can I do to get this to work.
Mine started just this past weekend when a Windows Update ran. I am running 32-bit Vista Business Edition.
Same problem conditions with my Canon Digital Rebel XT, but no such problem with uploading pictures from my Canon Powershot on my Windows Vista 64-bit notebook.

I used to be able to download pics automatically to my computer, changed computer and now I cannot. The EOS Digital, theorectically interactive pop up does not work...frustrating. I have reloaded and done all I can do it seems, says I should get a card reader. I paid 1300. for a camera????
Any suggestions. I am just about worn out.
I have 'Camera not recognized' error and then EOS Utility closed. This happened to Vista Business on my newer computer. My old XP is still working fine with the same camera.
Any solution???
