When I Plug In a Camera I Need thre Default Downloader...

[extreme P]

That would be Canon EOS Utilities but it is not shown as an option. Any suggestions as to how I can restore that as the default program when the camera is plugged in?

What operating system are you using?

If it's Windows 2000, XP or Vista, try this link (http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/237955/canon-eos-utility-2.0a-updater-windows-2000-xp-vista-free-download.html) for free driver downloads and (re)install the latest version. That should reset the defaults.

If it's a Mac O/S, this page (http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-9258-9282) may help.

When you plug your camera in - Are you presented with a list of programs to use? - If I understand you correctly, the program you wish to use isn't in the list.

Usually under the list is browse - So you can search through installed software and then select the program you want; and indeed opt to always open that program for this camera - thus becoming default.

Must admit that though I have the down loaders for the 3 cameras I use I rarely if ever use them.
Much prefer to drag & drop from the camera direct into whichever file I want the photos in.

Exactly the situation. Except I don't have a browse option to find the program I want.

I had a quick google - and found this..

you may need to reset the autoplay settings on your machine. Connect the device to your computer and then right click the drive icon in My Computer -> Properties -> Autoplay. Select the content type (music, videos, images etc) and then either choose the program if you see it or put a check in the box to prompt you for a respone. Then disconnect/reconnect the drive and you should either be asked again or it will open with the desired program.

I guess you didn't come back to check if the above worked!

I wouldn't bother connecting the Camera to the PC anyway; much better to use a card reader - Download the images to any file you want and open them with any Post Processing (PP) software you care to use.

Sorted! :rolleyes:

I had the same problem as yourself. I have done a search but cannot find the thread.......)

I had to download the latest versions of the Canon software and it all worked after that i.e it came up in the list of programmes when first plugged in.
