Hi Chaps, I've got an old Canon PowerShot A30 which I dug out at the weekend to use in the garage to use in dusty & dirty conditions. Just pics in and around teh garage sort of stuff. Problem is since I last used it I have changed my laptop and don't have the driver and I can't seem to find one for Windows 7.

Anyone got any ideas of how to acces the pictures in the camera, anything quick and dirty will do.

Many thanks
Rich...

Would you need a driver?

Just copy files (what type are they? RAW, TIFF, Jpeg?) onto your hard drive - depending on what format, Windoze should be able to cope with reading them?

Problem is that when I plug the camera in with the USB cable windows can't see the pictures and neither does it see it as a seperate drive?

Yeah, ok it's a big old compact flash card which doesn't fit my new PC so I'll have to get an adapter. Was hoping to use the USB cable frown

OK - assuming Canon support don't have an appropriate driver (I have one of their scanners and have had no problem finding the software/drivers for that though scratchchin ) - a fiver gets you something like.....
