What's the question? Are you asking about a lens or a driver?

You don't need a driver in order to use your camera. 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 management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Have you ever been able to view the pictures on your pc?
Have you got a card reader that can view the card contents externaly from the camera?
I found the Canon software is quite as happy from a card reader as it is reading from the camera. (I have the next model up, 30D.)
Have you tried upgrading your software, or tried using a third party image program to read the raw files?
Over to you!

SOURCE: vista not supporting canon eos 20 d

Pulled these from a forum:
"No issues except repeat requests to register which are solved by right clicking on the app icon and choosing "Run as Administrator". "

Also, some apps don't work, Adobe ask you to upgrade.(Typical!)
Also some font issues in Photoshop. (First hand info!)
"First of all the Adobe Type Manager no longer works on Windows Vista. We will have to find other ways to manage the font collection."

And:
"For some reason Vista wouldn't let PS CS2 create a folder and install in the default location. I had to choose an alternate location outside the the Adobe folder. I had tried to create the folder first but that didn't work either, do did renaming it."

Up to you if you want the hassle really.

So, answer is yes and no!
Good luck...

There currently are no drivers for Vista. Canon, on their website requests you use a Vista compatible memory card reader

Go ask a professional. Local photographers can surely help and fix an issue, and if not, they can diagnose the problem and suggest you to send it in to Canon's repair shop. I can't do anything over the internet...need to see it.

SOURCE: canon 20d - lens stuck / jammed

HI BRIAN ,,I AM SAGHA CAMERA REPAIRER,I THINK UR PROBLEM OCCURS DUE TO JAMMING OF PLASTIC MOUNT ON THE METAL BODY OF 20D.TRY THIS

1} LUBRICATE THE JUNCTION WHERE LENS GET ATTACHED TO THE BODY WITH KEROSENE THEN TRY TO RELEASE THE LENS.REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM CAMERA ,TRY AND HEAT UP THE JUNCTION WITH HAIR DRYER A LITTLEBIT THEN TRY TO RELEASE THE LENS.

2}IF THIS THING ALSO DOESN'T WORK THEN YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE THE LENS PLASTIC MOUNT PUT SOME SHARP KNIFE LIKE OBJECT IN THE JUNCTION OF LENS & CAMERA & THEN PUSH IT UPWARDS WHICH WILL BREAK ONE OF THE PLASTIC LENS MOUNT COLLOR AND LENS WILL COME OUT WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR CAMERA .LATER YOU CAN GET REPLACED THE LENS MOUNT FROM SERVICE PERSON. BUT NOW ATLEAST YOU CAN USE CAMERA WITH OTHER LENSES.

Lost my canon 20d software that came with camera

All of the software, manuals and drivers are available on Canon's website.

ZoomBrowser is the the only software that may present installation problems if a previous copy is not already installed on your computer. Any old copy of ZoomBrowser will allow the most current version to be loaded from Canon.

Canon EOS 20D Digital zoom failed

Hi there,
The autofocus mechanism on some lenses can be damaged if you manually focus while the camera is attempting to autofocus. Basically, you would be working against the motor and gears. 
There is no need to download software before using the camera, however, I would suggest going to Canon's website and downloading the firmware upgrades for it. Here's the link:
Canon 20D Firmware Download
Hope this helps!

Canon 20D Camera & Vista

it's probably the Canon EOS 20D
go to http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010131.asp and select windows vista

it's only available for windows vista 32 bit, so it probably doesn't work if you have the 64 bit version

My computer is not recognising my EOS 20D!

Hi I have exactly the same problem. I'm running Windows Vista Business as the OS and have installed the disk that came with the camera with no avail.

It keeps recognising it as a scanner, but I cannot open the pics. I've tried different cables as well. No use.

Error report 99 on my Canon 20D

take out battery for a few mins and that resets the error, well it worked. or Before I reset it, take off the lens and put it back on.
i heard that some have problems with the lexar cards.
http://www.lexar.com/support/cust_advisory.html
in short, format the card every so offten in the camera and see if that fixes it.
also
try a firmware upgrade if your 20D has highest version get this at canon website
