Re: Help - Canon TWAIN Driver Installation - Acces Denied Error

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Having used card readers since before the USB versions were available I cannot speak more favorably for them. The media simply becomes a removable media drive and from there you can do whatever you want. The media can also be used as a "zip drive" equivalent to carry software from place to place. Here is SoCal Fry's and others often have 10 & 12 different media type readers available for $6 to $12 in USB 1 & 2 packages. If you want to get it working as a challenge then that is a viable reason but you should look into a card reader for regular use. Fast, versatile & reliable. I have been using an old parallel port version, before USB, for my Olympus camera from the days when 2mpix first arrived. Still working great with no problems except they now do not have drivers for Win2K so those machines have to use the USB versions. Good luck and enjoy.

what it sounds like from your description (and knowing Canon drivers and
Canon support).  I never even bothered to try to install the drivers for my
Canon Rebel.

Gary,

OK...  Thx for the tip.  I was considering that as well for this specific
problem because I know picture download on Canon cameras is pretty slow
using their software and drivers.  Only problem is that it does not really
address the issue.  What happens next time I try to install something?


I'd

like to be able to get this problem fixed for next time.

To any guru out ther who would know.  Help!!!

Been trying to install my Canon (A520) camera TWAIN driver for the 

past

few

days.... It simply does not work. At the end of the process I always 

get

an

"Access Denied" errors.

Tried everything I know of plus other that I learned through trying to 

find

a solution  nothing works.

- Ensured I was logged in as "administrator"
- called Canon support. With them removed my printer/scanner drivers


then

deleted the camera and reinstalled everything.
- Deleted driver, device, uninstalled all related programs, went to
winnt/inf folder to delete all related inf and pnf files (cap*.inf /


pnf)

and reinstalled everything
- create new user with admin right and re-installed
- disabled virus protection and reinstaled.
- downloaded latest driver install file from web, copied driver file


to

HD

and installed from there.

Only thing I could think of was that recently installed a whole bunch 

of

windows2000 patches and fixes. One of which was SP4. Tried to 

uninstall

that... Basically I lost windows. Could not boot my PC anymore. I 

had

to

repair windows using the install CD...

Any ideas... Funny thing is that I reinstalled my printer drivers 

with

no

problem...

Forget the TWAIN driver and get a USB card reader for the memory 

card

and simply copy the files.  TWAIN drivers are a pain in the a**!
