Installing the Software
When You Have Problems with Driver Installation
If you have problems with driver 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 the driver software.
(1) Does your computer comply with these requirements?
●
The system has a built-in OHCI-compatible IEEE1394 port and it comes with Windows
98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000 or Windows XP preinstalled. (The IEEE1394
interface is not supported for systems not complying with the above conditions.)
(2) Is the camera connected correctly?
●
See "Connecting the Camera to Your Computer" (➞2-2) for more information.
(3) Are the camera and computer set up correctly for communication?
●
Is the camera's main switch set to <ON>?
●
Even when the camera's main 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
to [Off]. (Refer to "Menu Settings" in the EOS-1Ds Instructions.)
(4) Is there sufficient charge left in the camera battery?
●
When you connect your camera to a computer, you should use the DC Coupler Kit so
that you can continue to use your camera regardless of battery level.
If you have checked that none of the above problems apply and you still have problems with
the driver installation, refer to "Uninstalling the Driver" (➞9-7) and perform the driver
installation procedure once more from the beginning.
