Default Canon Digital camera software disc??

I seem to have misplaced my software disc for my digital camera and am wondering if anyone still has their's. If you do I'd greatly appreciate it if I coud borrow it from you to install on my comp. I'll also come and pick it up and drop it back off so you don't have to drive out of your way.

They have an updater you can download but for it to work you need to have the software from the CD already installed on your computer. I did find a way to fool the registry into thinking I had it on this comp but it doesn'w work with vista

If no one else can help me I may just have to make a couple round trips up to you. Which wouldn't be all that bad since I enjoy driving so much anyway

I've got the SD1100 IS. As long as it has Zoom Browser I think it will work fine.

Need it to pull video off the camera. I looked around the net for something that would do it but couldn't find anything. I'm not very camera savvy but if you know of a program that would let me do that i'm all ears!

you have windows... you should be able to just plug the camera in and it shows up like one of the USB drives. Video files should be individual ones just like the pictures.
ive owned about 10 different digital cameras and never once used the software lol

also.. card readers are handy if you computer keeps requesting software. they act just like the little usb jump drives

/shrug For whatever reason the only thing that happens when I plug it in is it starts to download the pictures from the camera.

I think your quickest solution is to plug your cam's usb cable into a different computer. Whenever I plug my camera into my mac or vista box I get a prompt asking me what I want to do. Even if it starts to pull it off automagically take a look under my computer and your camera should should up there and you should be able to access everything you want.

^^Dunno why I didn't see it in My Computer before. I may have just never looked there when I had the camera plugged in. Thx! and thx to everyone else who replied.

Plugging the camera in works just fine, you can easily drag/drop files and then from there open them up like any other picture.... IF you're shooting in jpg and dont mind having to sort them.

I plug my camera in, it gives me random options, one of them is to transfer all files to my computer, I click yes and it will move the pictures all at once into a folder with the date that the picture was taken. Takes zero work, when you have 8 memory sticks it makes life easy. On top of that when you're shooting in RAW format, windows DOES NOT understand it and there for you cannot preview pictures or even open them with out having software that supports raw files like photoshop.

Point and Shoot, I've never installed software and never will, it's pointless. but with a full blown RAW shooting camera. I'd go as far as to call up canon and ask them how much for another disc.

If you can't find one closer to you, let me know I have my disc somewhere around here.
