I have tried several times to install the disk that came with my Cannon EOS Digital Camera but Windows 7 does not recognize the drivers, Windows XP did with no issues. Cannon says their old driver is compatable with Windows 7. Can anyone help?

I've had the same problem since I went to Vista, but in checking on the boards, I found an undocumented trick!!!
Turn the camera on, and go to the menu.
On the 4th menu tab select the "Communications" entry and change it from NORMAL to PTP
Plug the camera back into the laptop, wait 30 seconds, and enjoy your camera again
Hi
Which version of Windows 7 are you using? is it 32bit or 64bit as the support paper from Canon only lists 32bit as supported amd/or not supporting the EOS utility and images only viewable via the memory card http://www.usa.canon.com/app/pdf/Windows7_compatibility.pdf
If you just plug in the camera, does Windows load a basic storage driver? with this you can get to download your images from the camera to PC. You could also try with the XP driver to right click the setup and choose Run as Administrator, odd times it dos allow a driver to install.
There cannot be a crisis today....my schedule is already full
Works like a charm!
I am running Windows 7 64bit OS. The protocol solution (PTP or Picture Transfer Protocol) everyone is discussing in this thread helps people that are simply trying to copy or move pictures from their camera to their computer. It however does not help any who is trying to connect the camera to a computer and then control the camera via the computer using Canon's Remote Capture 2.7 application. Has anyone been able to get Canon's Remote Capture 2.7 application to work on Windows 7 64bit OS? And, if so how did you do it?
Thank you so much!!! You are definitely the man!!!
