Just got the rebel and am having a hell of a time with installation/uploading.
here's the issue,
when i connect the camera to the computer it asks me each time "please choose which application should receive the image" so then i select zoom browser and sometimes it loads and sometimes it doesn't do anything. what up wit dat???????
when i double click the zoom browser icon nothing happens??????
also, the manual says i need windows 98 SE, i have windows 98. would that be my problem?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because of the slow speed of the interface I never use it; the $20 I spent on a USB 2.0 reader was well worth the money. Just remove the card, stick it in the reader, transfer everything the 'pooter, ready to rock & roll.
I transfer to a directory called "photo archive", then copy from there to where I will work on the images.
I really like my card reader too. If you burn up your batteries while your out shooting you don't have to wait for your battery to charge back up before you can start working on your pictures, and the ease of use is nice.
I've seen them on ebay and other online sites for under $10 (USB 1.0 though usually). But if you only have Windows 98, your computer is possibly a bit older, and wouldn't support USB 2.0 anyways.
95 had the problem, the OS revision for WIndows 95 helped with USB support. FOund a wee bit here : USB Support (Microsoft Site)
all of that USB info is foreign language to me. what is the difference between win 98 and win 98 SE?
by the way, the images are loading now. taking much longer than my 3800 images to load. is that because the pixel size is larger?
thx,

Hi Jack, Yeh the files are large from the 300d so upload time will be longer. You would be better off investing in a card reader, its much easier and quicker. The zoombrowser is not the best but it works fine with my Windows XP. I use it to upload but still use the Finepix viewer software to look at the images.
