Sarah, your solution work fine!
Download CanonCam2PC small and free program from snapfiles.com !

Thanks!
That worked for me at last tonight as I had worked around this problem all this week. transfering everthing to my new vista laptop!
I think it helped that I found the original canon disc and reinstalled the software, that helped my new vista system find the camera but I still had to use the CanonCam2PC driver to download the pictures, zoombrowser wasn’t much help or the twain driver either. I think I will still buy a multi card reader to be sure I can get to my photos from all my cameras, such a great and simple solution, wish I had thought of that myself!

Thanks, Allen

Is anyone able to uninstall the twain driver? When I attempt to uninstall it , I get the following error:
“The log file ‘c:\program files\cannon\DC USB TWAIN\Uninst.isu’ is not valid or the data has been corrupted. Uninstallation will not continue” I tried both deleting the file as well as re-installing the twain driver again ontop of what’s allready there (in hopes that it would recreate the file). No luck. Does anyone know what i need to delete manually since the unintaller won’t run.. or can anyone suggest a work-around. thanks.

to get the driver for the powershot g2, go here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=321&modelid=7476

The for the OS dropdown box, select Windows 2000 (none is listed for Vista)

It will be listed as: “TWAIN Driver 3.9.0 for Windows 98/2000″

In Vista you have to run Zoombrowser as administrator or you get errormessage “Zoombrowser EX is currently opened by another user. you will hae to switch users and close Zoombrowser EX before continuing”

I tried just about everything that has been mentioned here but couldn ‘t get newer versions of ZoomBrowser to recognise the camera was connected.

I have now downloaded a little app called CanonCam2PC from snapfiles.com and have copied the photos across to the PC.

I installed the TWAIN driver and ZoomBrowser EX 6.0.1 (downloaded from the Canon website ) to Vista and I can load pictures from my Canon PowerShot G2.

Good luck!

The really crummy thing about this is that the WIA drivers WORKED on Vista RC1. Support was actually taken away with the final RTM.
This smells of a marketing decision, not a technical one.

I downloaded the TWAIN driver from the canon website and my camera would finally switch to PC mode but I still couldn’t download. I downloaded Picasa since it was free and it worked like a charm. Windows photogallery didnt work and neither did my zoombrowser.
