Download PowerShot G3 driver from canon.co.uk. Double-click Setup.exe. Watch installer remove then reinstall TWAIN driver. Connect camera to computer. Watch Windows display 'New Hardware Detected' dialog. Wonder why the installer hasn't stopped this happening. Allow installer to run through once. No driver detected. Unplug and replug camera. Watch same 'New Hardware' wizard spring to life. Point it manually at the G3.INF file hidden in c:\mydocu~1\admini~2\common\, where WinZip's self-extractor has been persuaded to shit it (unlike, say, c:\temp, like it did last time). Watch as Windows searches all the places it searched last time, again in vain, then as it finds the .INF file it was pointed at and ignore it. Reboot, hoping something will be triggered. No effect. Scream at camera, impugn Windows loudly to the developer's corner of the office, and give up, hoping someone who cares will make it work. -- :: paul mison :: fotango.com
