If it's listed, double-click on it and try the 'Test Camera' button. If it's listed in there and that test works, then it's probably installed fine. If the 'Test Camera' doesn't succeed, make absolutely sure you didn't accidentally get the XP version of the WIA driver. What applications are you trying to use with your camera? On my PC, Adobe Lightroom recognises the camera, as does Photoshop CS3 (I'm assuming CS2 would too, the option is under File > Import > WIA Support) and Google Picasa. If you're using one of the Canon apps, make sure you've installed the relevant update from the same Canon area as the WIA driver, there's an update for all of them. Ben Hi Michael,

I hear the USB bing but that is all. Ideas?
