[B]Downloading updates[/B]

[B]Installing updates issue[/B]
The problem is, there are updates only -so original software (from CD) is requested to be installed first. I see at least two cases where this can be a problem:
1. You bought your camera second hand -without original CD,
2. Installing "old" software just because updating, well...
[B]Installing update without having original installed[/B]
All those updates are actually full applications. Without going into "where & how", here's the procedure:
[B]Prepare for installing update[/B]
1. Open [U]Notepad[/U] and write (or copy/paste into Notepad):
[COLOR=#0000FF]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Utility] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\DPP] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\PhotoStitch] 2.Now save that (as [B]CanonUpdate[/B] for example) -where [B]txt[/B] extension will be added automatically
3.Rename CanonUpdate.[B]txt[/B] into CanonUpdate.[B]reg[/B]
4.Now right-click onto [B]CanonUpdate.reg[/B] file and select [B]Merge[/B] option
5.You'll be asked if you wish to add into Registry -where you choose [B]Yes[/B] (of course)
6.Now you're ready to install any update, without having original installed.
