Installing the Software on Windows
For Windows 2000, Me and 98 SE users :
●
When you set the camera’s power
switch to <ON>, a dialog box such as
[Found New Hardware] or [Create
driver information database] appears,
depending on your operating system
and computer system. If the display
automatically clears at this point,
installation is complete.
Do not set the camera’s power switch to <OFF> until the [Found New Hardware] or
[Create driver information database] message automatically disappears.
●
When [EOS Kiss REBEL 300D] screen (event screen) and the [Scanner and Camera
Wizard] dialog box appear, click the [Cancel] buttons and close all the open windows.
●
When a window appears prompting you to restart your computer, restart the computer.
When You Have Problems with Installation
If you have problems with installation, check the items listed below. If the [Add New Hardware
Wizard] ([Found New Hardware Wizard] in Windows 2000) dialog box appears while you are
checking these items, click the [Cancel] button and disconnect the camera from your
computer. Then re-install.
(1) Does your computer comply with these requirements?
●
PC with Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me or Windows 98 SE preinstalled and
a USB port as a standard feature. (A-8)
(2) Is the camera connected correctly?
●
See steps 13 and 14 for the connection method.
(3) Are the camera and computer set up correctly for communication?
●
Is the camera’s power switch set to <ON>?
●
Check that the camera’s communication mode is set to [Normal]. See step 12 for
information on setting the communication mode.
●
Even when the camera’s power switch is set to <ON>, operation of the Auto power off
function will automatically switch the camera off. To prevent this, set the Auto power off
function to [Off]. (Refer to “Menu Settings” in the Instructions provided with your
camera.)
(4) Is there sufficient charge left in the camera battery?
●
When the camera is connected to a computer, you should use the DC Coupler Kit
(optional) so that you can continue using the camera regardless of battery level.
If there are none of the problems listed above and you still cannot install successfully, see
“Troubleshooting” (W-80) or “Uninstalling” (W-83) and then repeat the installation procedure
from the beginning.
