will the canon Utility run on an EEPC?

[seeker372011]

I have an opportunity to pick up a used eepc 1000h at a reasonable price, and can get XP installed on it

will my canon software run on this-so I can remote control my 450D?

its not worth it for me unless I can control the canon
would appreciate it if anyone has experience


I thought I remembered a thread somewhere here but cant seem to find it
thanks in advance

yeah no problem at all. I even run PS4 on mine. Upgrad the ram and you'll be fine.

Thanks !

IIRC, Canon's DPP requires a minimum resolution to be installed and those netbooks don't have that min requirement. If you're talking about EOS Utility, I think that does install ok.

[seeker372011]

thanks for that heads up

Narayan,

Yes, it does work.

There's a button on the system for changing resolution. Just switch to 1024x768 (scrolling) or 1024x768 (compressed) and you can run Digital Photo Professional and EOS Utility. I used to run PHD Guiding on it, as well. And, in recent times, had the STL (CCDSoft/Maxim DL) running off it, too

My eeePC has started dying. I suspect it's either dodgy RAM or a dodgy solid state disk on which the OS is running. I'm not sure what to do to fix it, to be honest. If it's a dodgy solid state disk, how do I go about repairing/replacing and getting the OS back on it?

Yes, I meant to say that you can fool the netbook into thinking it's got a higher resolution than it's screen actually has. Pretty sure on my Aspire One I had to install a small free application to do it, it wasn't native. I did find the scrolling annoying.



Bummer. Mine is still going strong, but it's not the solid state drive version, it's an actual hard disk. In fact I'm writing this on it. We leave it in the loungeroom for convenience if we need to check something.

I've fixed many desktop computers, hardware and software, but no idea where to start with netbooks/notebooks in terms of hardware.
