Driver disk I recently purchased a Canon Powershot A560 which was a display model. Everything was included but the drive installation disk! Is there anywhere I can download this from? Thanks, Sue

Consider NOT using a driver.


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 such as Picasa.

SOURCE: Lost my Canon PowerShot A560 disk

As a solution I highly recommend that you forego the old cable to the camera route, and instead consider a card reader to download your photos to your computer. Card readers are very inexpensive, much much faster downloading photos from the camera, do not use the camera's batteries during download, and are much less prone to file corruption of the photos during the download.

You place the camera's card in the reader, and your computer sees it as a hard drive. You simply copy/paste or drag/drop your photos onto your hard drive. For all of these reasons, most professional photographers utilize card readers exclusively. Really, you'll save yourself a lot of headache. Here are some examples from Amazon. Also, don't be fooled by the cost. some of the cheap ones work just fine. Go by the reviews. Also make sure you get a reader that is stated capable of reading your card (particularly if you have an SDHC card):

Canon Powershot A560

Remove the SD card from the camera. Slide the tiny slide switch on the side of the card to the other "unlocked" position. Reinsert the card in the camera. That should do it.

If you do not have the software, you need to download the software from one of the following locations:

After downloading is finished, unplug the camera USB and run the software that you downloaded.
The software installer will tell you when to connect USB.

Windows 2000 and Windows Millenium (98 ME) are two different operating systems. Either cam won't work with 98 or computer is too old to work with camera. Find a local computer store that does custom computers and ask them for help.
