I'm trying to use the laptop to control my Canon 300D Rebel. Everything works fine except for the problem that it wont shoot the camera in Bulb mode. I have the camera set to Bulb mode and the Remote Capture software says "Shooting was canceled by the Camera". But when I put it on like 30sec exposure the software works. I also tried the EOS Utility and it basically did the same thing. I've updated the software and the Firmware and it didn't help.

Canon 300D and the 350D cannot be controlled in bulb mode from the computer. The maximum possible as you found out is 30 seconds. I think there is a special cable available, but I am not sure on the details.
