Problem with Zoom Browser & A640 connection

Patrick Arnold-Baker wrote in post #2814089
I have the full printed manual for the A640 and pages 30 & 31 do not refer to anything relevant to my problem. I can't find anything in the manual that is even vaguely helpful. I must have missed something.

Interested in your comment about ZB and how useful a card reader is. I'll bear it in mind meanwhile I'd liek to get the ZB working as it's intended to work.

Any further ideas?

There is 2 manual one basic and one advance. The page I'm referring to is in the basic.

I've looked for SD card readers on the internet and you're right they are very inexpensive. I think I'll get one as it does seem to be a useful alternative. However I would still like to get the ZoomBrowser to work correctly.

Graystar,

No, I don't have the Camera Window installed. It will not install - it has failed completely. Any idea how I get that installed? It's meant to install itself but it never gets to that bit.

Ah back to what I was trying to tell you before page 31 of the basic manual!!!

LostDoggy,

I've read and re-read page 31 of the Basic Manual and it has not helped me at all. That's why I've come to this forum for help.

Graystar,

>You’ll have to do some research on the web.

That's why I've come here - as I've completely failed to find any help at all with this problem. I have a number of USB devices - 2 x printers, scanner, modem. I disconnected them all before attempting to re-installl the Canon software all over again. So far it did nothing to help.

Sometime you might have to uninstall n scanner and camera the existing canon 640 device before you can install Camera window. Make sure you uninstall any existing camerawindow s/w. ceckin device manager to maker sure 640 is no listed there as well (with camera attached and on set preview). Disconnect camera from PC and then try to installthe s/w when prompt to connect camera (w/ power off) connect and then turn power on (set to preview). PC will show that it have detected a new device and will propt to install let s/w handle that part don't click anything. Thi may or may not work. But worth a try.

I'm in the process of downloading the FastStone viewer.

I now understand the point you're making about the card reader. Sounds an excellent option.

Hope you enjoy it !
Its got a great full screen mode, easy and configurable zooming and the email resizing feature is excellent.
Try hovering mouse top sides and bottom of full screen pic for pop up menus.
Also right click has great menu.
Only shortcoming is the shooting info is a bit sparse
