    You don't really need the canon software (though I'm sure somebody will provide a link to download their software) picasa should get you going.

    It should appear as a camera in My Computer. If not just get a card reader.

    The software is handy for doing things like tethered remote shooting.

    The camera's storage card will show up in windows explorer as a removable drive, you treat the files just the same as any others after that.

    Try picasa though it is perfect for newbies.;)

    Are you shooting in RAW or JPG format ? If you're shooting in JPG, then you won't need the s/w. You might if you shoot in RAW (unless you have Photoshop or some other RAW convertor). I think Picasa [mentioned above]does a conversion from RAW to JPG too.

    For getting the pictures onto your computer, you can always get a CF card reader for your PC (don't pay more than 15/20euro for it) and you can upload the pictures - it connects via USB.

    ok as no one else put the link i will ;)

    http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010371.asp

    the canon website has all the original and updated software for your camera :)

    but I agree with most of the other posters, I have never installed it ;)
