Canon does not sell old versions of their software. The only place would be searching for used copies on eBay. But have you considered downloading your photos using a USB plugin card reader? They're very inexpensive, and very fast. See this article for more info.
First make sure that you are using quality batteries, and not "super heavy duty". If so, some of The Canon Powershot A530 and A540 cameras are subject to an advisory recall. Seems that a small spring on the battery compartment door can short out the batteries. Suspect this of yours, in that you mention that your batteries aren't lasting long. If your camera is on the list, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please see this link for more info.
here is a link, choose your operating system and language then choose what you want to download, when u have choosin this it will bring you to next page, under the downloads you can click the name of the file you want to download and download will begin .click here for link hope this helps
Please go to a electronics store and buy a USB card reader. I bought one last week and it cost $0.5 so its cheap as dirt. Then simply remove the card from your camera , pop it into the reader and the pictures will appear on a drive like a flashdrive in your my computer folder.
This is a much better option than using the camera's cable as it is faster , safer , saves on your camera battery and you don't need to install any software or drivers.
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 iPhoto or any other photo cataloging program.
I had same problem. Called Canon and found out A40 is not compatible with Vista so there is no driver. But you can download pics to your Vista by purchasing USB Memory Card Reader/Writer you can find at Walmart for about $12.00. You put your Flash card in device and has USB that plugs in computer for downloading pics.
Power Shot A530. It came with a CD for Digital Camera Solution Disk and I put it to CD dish but nothing happening.
Of course, I have problem with downloading becuase the computer is not recoginzing the camera.
Any solution?
Somehow I did download a few times before when my internet was with dialtone. Now I have a cable.
