Look for the file starting with [Oem*].
• A number such as "0" or "1" will appear in place of the asterisk (*) above. You
will also find another file called [Oem*.pnf], which will have the same number
as the [Oem*] file. The two constitute one set (i.e. Oem0 and Oem0.pnf).
Please note that there may be many files sets starting with "Oem" so take care
to get the correct set.
Confirm that it is the correct [Oem*] file set for Canon digital cameras.
When you double-click the [Oem*] file, the Windows Notepad program will
start and show the file contents. Click each [Oem*] file until you find one that
contains"***Canon Digital Camera USB Setup File***" in its first line. When
you find the correct file, note down its name and close the Notepad window.
