5D remote shooting problem

When I connect my 5D to the computer in the "PC Connect" mode required for tethered shooting, I just get three quick connect beeps and nothing else. A little while later the camera powers down and I get the USB disconnection sound. EOS Utility does not recognize the camera while it's connected. I have installed every piece of software I can find on the Canon support download page for the 5D, but it keeps behaving the same way. I have had this problem in the past and can't remember how I dealt with it, and I don't feel like spending the morning trying to get it working. Any ideas?

Anyone? My 40D works just fine in remote shooting mode.

What OS system are you using? Try updating to the latest OS upgrade and see if that works.
