Ixus v2 WinXP driver problems

[davidvankemenade]

Until recently I was able to download pictures from my camera to my computer running Windows XP, using the normal Canon driver. Since I've upgraded to Windows XP SP1 and re-installed the driver software, it doesn't work anymore.

The symptoms: after first attempt to download pictures after installation, a dialogue window appears, indicating that the system is trying to find pictures on the camera. This suddenly goes away and nothing else happens. From second attempt onwards: just a sound when I connect and switch on the camera, device is recognised and shows up in hardware list, but "downloading" dialogue window doesn't appear anymore.

Does anyone have similar problems, or - better still - a solution?

Thanks

hi, i've got an ixus v2 and use XP and have had similar problems. I ended up taking off zoombrowser and that seemed to fix it. I couldn't get zoombrowser to work anyway.

also, i find that in order to download pics, i have to turn the camera on/off twice before my computer recognises that it's connected....then XP automatically downloads pics with it's own wizard.

hope this helps...seems to be a lot of problems with XP and ixus. there are a few other threads about it...
