No images to download in ZoomBrowser - can't find Canon driver for Windows 7?

sunni

Hello

I'm trying to download images from my camera and downloaded ZoomBrowser. When I click 'acquire images from memory card' I get the message 'no images to download to the memory card'. Now I've just realised I didn't download the camera driver (duhhhh lol) and searched for one and can't find any.

Everything worked fine on my old laptop but it was XP.

My camera is a Canon PowerShot A60 and I can't find a driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)? Obviously I need a driver installed?

Windows 7 should just identify the camera as a USB storage device when it's plugged in, automatically install the required drivers and it should then appear as a drive in 'Computer', from where you can drag & drop photos to any location that you wish.

Checked in 'computer' and no drive there?

Restart the computer, then when it has booted, plug the camera into a USB socket and Windows should pop up a 'found new device' message and install any required drivers.

Maybe you need the updater

Description:ZoomBrowser EX 6.6.0d Updater is software that will update a previously installed version of ZoomBrowser EX to ZoomBrowser EX 6.6.0d. It is necessary that the previous version of your software have been installed when you use this updater on your computer.

Also you may need to install the XP driver (number 17), then run it in compatibility mode

If the zoombrowser doesn't do anything special then maybe using a card reader would work as well

Ok that done and shows the camera now under 'computer' still saying no images to download though in ZoomBrowser?

Thanks santer, I had the updater already installed - not sure now whether I download these XP drivers - shows as camera device now in 'computer'

Ahh nice one now that's nice and simple something I like lol however, how do I only download recent new photos as it has downloaded everything on my camera which is fine, but then I took new photos and it downloaded every single one again?

If you want more control over the process, choose Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer.

Tried that it took me to the camera in 'computer' but didn't show any images.

Then I selected 'import pictures and videos using windows live photo gallery' and it allows me to download the recent ones hopefully that's it sorted now, thanks everyone for the advice
