I'm quite a longtime customer of breeze products. Browser and Downloader.

I've used the downloader thru several versions with no problems on windows XP.

But when I got a laptop with vista installed.. I was never able to get downloader to work correctly. It sees 1 file on the camera regardless of how many there are actually there..

Eventually I gave up trying to use downloader on vista, and just went with the camera software (Canon powershot pro 1)

Recently I got a new laptop, this time with windows 7 (64 bit) installed, and was looking forward to being able to use downloader pro on it, but I see the same old baloney. I file is all that downloader recognizes.

This is true of several versions of downloader pro including the latest version 227.

This is quite discouraging. Is there a fix for this problem?

Summary: Downloader pro sees only 1 file on Canon Powershot pro1. regardless of how many are actually there. This is on a new install of windows 7 Home premium (64 bit) on a sager 8760 laptop

I use DL Pro on both Vista and Windows 7 without problems.

I think the problem is due to the lack of drivers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 for the Canon PowerShot Pro1. It should work fine if you use a card reader to download the images.

I had a similar problem and was solved with a new card reader. See this thread
