Skip the software, use a card reader/writer.
No software necessary.
Buy a card reader at any store such as Walmart, Officemax, Best Buy, and so on.

I have a cannon rebel XT EOS 350D. I can not get my computer to recognize the camera so I can view the pictures or download them to a file.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Cannot download pictures from camera

Forget all that and use a separate card reader to download to a folder you create on your desktop.

Cannot get pictures of my Cannon Rebel XTI camera

Do you have a USB card reader? You can pick these up cheaply, and it is quicker and easier to take the memory card out of the canon and read it with the card reader.

Transfer from XTI camera to PC

Seems to be a common problem with the XTi. Some say it's designed to underexpose to avoid washing out the bright parts of scene. Personally I found it a pita. I had to PhotoShop each shot.So I sent it back to the repair facility. They re-calibrated it. Now it works fine.
