Hi again guys. As i am in the process of setting up my new rig, have any of you had any experience or issues involving Canon drivers for digital EOS cameras such as the Eos30d or Eos5D?

System...
Vista Ultimate 64 bit
Intel X9000 2.8ghz
2x 320gig HDD,s @ 7200rpm
4GB ram DDR2
Nvidia 8800m GTS
20"WUXGA

...any info would be greatly appreciated.

There are no 64 bit drivers on the Canon website. Why cannot someone provide the registry entry to delete? Interesting that that real type of help is difficult to find online.

My x64 vista system was working with my two canon cameras just fine, using PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) until today when the devices showed an error in device manager. When I uninstalled the driver, then reinstalled, the cameras worked. I rebooted, now the cameras are not visible on Device Manager and scans for new hardware do not detect the cameras.

Nothing personal, but saying "just check the OEM website" is not really help.

I have a very similar problem.
Canon EOS 1D and trying to connect it to:
HP9450m Phenom x4 running Vista 64 Home Premium

Need to remotely control the camera via Firewire cable. Camera not found. Driver needed for FW NOT for camera. Apparently Vista does not support FW1394, only 1394 A and B.

I wish someone would pull their heads out and just build a driver instead of pointing fingers!
