Canon 20D drivers for windows 7

My new Windows 7 laptop doesn't recognize my Canon 20D and I can't find an updated driver. Any suggestions?

Set your communications to PTP. Win7 will then recognize it.

Thanks TheViper, worked like a charm. KB

what is communication ptp is that on my camera or my computer i never had to do this ,so i don't know what that is

Thanks for this posting... it really helped me too!

Much appreciated.

Thank you. Worked for me too.

Setting the communication protocol to PTP is fine for simply downloading pictures from the camera to the computer. However I need for my application to use the remote capture to take pictures from the computer. I use the camera for some data acquisition and I need the computer to be able to control the camera.

Does anyone know how I could get this to work with windows 7? My IT manager decided to upgrade all machines to win 7 and doesn't want me to get a machine working with XP or earlier.

PTP means Picture Transfer Protocol. Technically it is a means for the camera and a printer or mass storage device to directly communicate together without a computer USB host.

Most modern operating systems will allow picture transfer to the computer under the "normal" setting but some (XP and OSX mostly) don't work quite right but work well when the camera is set to PTP instead.
