Canon Digital Rebel/EOS 300D PTP Driver

Hi - I have a Canon Digital Rebel/EOS 300D that I have successfully
been using in conjunction with a Windows Vista machine for about 12
months via the PTP connection.

However, when I recently connected the Camera I was prompted for a
driver for the camera, which as far as I'm aware Canon does not have
a
Vista compatible one for this camera. Instead, it is supposed to use
Vista's built-in PTP driver.


Any idea what may have caused this change in behaviour and how to
resolve the problem?

As a workaround you can use a card reader. A side benefit is it saves usage
of your camera battery.
