The camera is trying to process information to or from the memory card. If the status does not change after a few minutes, you may have a damaged memory card. Turn the camera off. Remove the memory card and inspect it. Reinsert the memory card. Can you view photos on the LCD by pressing the arrow button? If so reconnect to your computer. If not, you most likely have a damaged memory card. Try inserting the memory card into a card reader connected directly to your computer. This may be able to still read the card when your camera cannot.
Testimonial: "Thanks for your reply. I did what you suggested and could view photos n the LCD. Still BUsy. Tried a different memory card and the same thing happened. BUsy. If the camera is not connected to the computer all is well, but when connected, there is no activity."

In the communications option of the camera Menu, there are two options to choose from. Try changing the options. one of them works with Canon software to download images.

The card reader on this camera is soldered on the mainboard, therefore it requires professional SMD soldering equipment and skills, sadly, not a DIY job. You either sell it for parts on ebay, or buy a broken one (with a good mainboard) from ebay, and replace the mainboard. That should cost you around £50-60 (far less than a professional repair job)...
Follow this link on disassembling 300D (in case you want to replace the mainboard yourself)...

The 35mm Rebel Ti and the Rebel 300D use the same lens mounting protocol. All Canon cameras designated 'EOS' use the autofocus EF lenses. If your Quantaray lens worked on the Rebel Ti, it will fit and should work on the Rebel 300D.

There are two was around this:
1) Get an external USB card reader - I recommend this, because it is faster and does not require any software updating
2) Download the latest EOS Utility from the Canon web site; you also need to download the latest drivers. The cameras you name are supported by Vista, but the original software isn't.
