Q. I recently moved from home, and brought my Rebel XT with me. I am using a Dell Studio laptop running Windows Vista 64 bit. This computer DOES NOT have a disk drive.
Because of the missing disk drive, I can not install the driver software that came with my camera, and I can not download the version Canon gives on the website because it is not compatible with Vista 64 bit.
Is there any way to download a version of driver software compatible with my OS and my camera? Or do I need to buy a card reader and/or a portable disk drive? I can't find anything on the web.
Thanks!

Try connecting the camera to the laptop using the USB cable. It should be detected by Windows Explorer (My Coomputer) automatically as a Removable Storage Device (or something to the tune of that). From there, you could copy, delete, or move files around to and from your camera. If you would want to edit them, use your favorite graphics program like Photoshop, Corel or Paintbrush. Irfanview is a free downloadable graphics program that is simple to use.
If the camera is not detected by Windows, buy a cheap card reader, insert the camera's memory card there and connect then to the laptop. Again, it should be detected by Windows automatically.

I have lost all the Cd's that came with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, I need to download the software to my new computer, in order to get the photos.
What can I do?

Answer
I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT camera, also. The software that comes with the camera is not 'driver' software.
When you connect your camera via USB to your PC, and turn it on, the camera card is treated just like any other 'drive' on your PC. By that, I mean you can find it in Windows Explorer, double click it and copy, view, delete, or otherwise manipulate the photos just as if they were on your C drive.
The software that comes with the camera is, to me, just a proprietary 'photoshop-like' software.
