Posted 01/11/09 09:07 PM Share Posted 01/11/09 09:07 PM not knowing a thing about that camera, but why dont you just buy a card reader compatible with vista and just remove the memory card from the camera and put into the card reader to extract all the photos. Card readers are like $20 or less from an PC place Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/63229-help-me-find-a-driver-for-my-camera/#findComment-949554 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the card reader may be my best bet but I never get a chance to get to the shops lol.

tmac450 Member 1,650 Member For: 18y 8m 7d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 02/11/09 02:06 AM Share Posted 02/11/09 02:06 AM I have a 20D, it too won't download onto a PC unless the driver has been installed.I got the Vista drivers from the Cannon website. The 300D is about the same vintage as the 20D, so I'd be surprised if the drivers weren't there.

On the Setup 2 screen, change the Communication setting from Normal to PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol).http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms792271.aspxAnother way to work around it would be to instal Windows 7 and use the XP console...But getting a card reader would be a cheaper option...
