First of all :

does anyone here use Max Dsrl for focusing digital cameras ?

[iceman (Mike)]

I use ImagesPlus for focusing. I haven't used any other programs, but I like the way this one does it.

Thank you, Iceman.

Your computer works with Vista ? or with older version of Windows ?

I looked in the webpage of MLUunsold, and really ImagePlus works with Vista, BUT ONLY for Canon 350D : i own an old canon 300D.
There is another version of ImagePlus, that supports canon 300D, but it requires windows XP.

I had the same problem with another focusing software: DslrFocus, also this one doesn't works with Vista.

It's a big problem : i can't find a focusing sofware for my instruments - Canon eos 300D (too old !!) and computer With Vista (too new!!)

Oh sorry, i'm on Windows XP.

You could alway's try it in compatibility mode.

Strip out Vista, and load XP

Every problem solved

Try running it in XP compatability mode and also check the "Run as administrator checkbox"
Good luck. I have just bought a new laptop but haven't yet got it up and running. 2 laptops so far with 2 diferent problems in their hardware. Acer have lost me!!!

Yes, I use it when I use my Canon 20D, but it is with Windows XP Home. It works very well.

hey, guys, you are very kind.

I have tried many times, also in "compatibility mode", but it is always the same.

I thought to install XP in dual boot configuration, but some people told me that there are problems with the drivers : new computers, designed for Vista, use all "periferiche" (i don't know how to translate ; it means part of computer) suited only for Vista; so - before installing XP - i'd preferr to try Max Dslr;

at the moment i haven't found someone using MaxDslr on a new computer with Vista: but i don't loose hope.....
