Thanks for your help John.
After trawling through a lot of other posts, I did go out and buy a card
reader on new years eve, and it worked like a charm. There were some
possible advantages with canon's own software in terms of automatic numbering
of images on transfer, but I guess I'll live without that. Canon provides no
driver for this camera as it's meant to "plug and play" in XP. I still think
I have a plug&play driver issue in my installed XP, though, as I also have a
scanner that's stopped being recognised by the pc recently. Oddly enough,
it's also a Canon.
The G9 is great. I haven't actually tried the movie mode yet -- too busy
learning the ropes and taking stills!
Regards,
Guy

I cannot import pictures directly to my pc from my canon g9 camera,=====================================
which
uses a sd memory card. The camera is not recognised by windows XP.
I have tried updating the driver, using install hardware wizard, etc
with no joy.
it appears that the ptp driver in windows xp for this camera is either
missing or corrupted (error 39 is listed), the camera does not appear
in the list of hardware in the install hardware wizard. I have tried
installing a different camera driver from the list in the wizard, but
none of them will actually load and appear in the cameras and
scanners folder, and have a little exclamation point icon next to
them.
i am using windows XP with sp2 and all the necessary windows updates
from
the update site. Having read some other threads here, I will be
buying a card reader to see if that works, but i'm half expecting
that the pc will not recognise or read that either. I also have a
small sony camera which the pc has no trouble recognising.
i think i need to re-install the missing or corrupted plug-and-play
drivers for XP but so far i haven't been able to identify where they
can be found on microsoft's huge site.
Sorry for such a long winded question -- any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Congrats on the G9...I would like to have one
myself. How do you like the 1024x768 movie mode?
Instead of fighting all these issues why not purchase
a USB Memory Card Reader and download your
image files from it. The reader will be identified
as a Removable Disk and no aditional software
will be required.
As a bonus you won't have to connect your camera
when downloading and your batteries will not be
drained. Also it's possible to corrupt images by
downloading when batteries are low so there's
another roadblock that is omitted.
Cheers.
