I upgraded my laptop from win 7 64 to Win 8 64 and the latest version of EOS Utility works perfectly with the 5D MKII tethered to it. It was the first thing I checked as I use the Asus laptop only for tethering. Wa2n wrote: Yep it might be a x64 issue.

Free Canon EOS 350D drivers for Windows 8. Found 7 files. Select driver to download. 'EOS 20D - Canon RAW Codec 1.0 is a software plug-in that, when installed in Windows Vista, enables the import and display of RAW images (with the extension.CR2) taken with Canon cameras. EOS 10D, EOS 20D, EOS 300D Driver.

I think the wrong driver is being loaded, the camera shows up in the device manager tree in 'Portable Devices' branch along with portable hard drives etc. It should show up in the Imaging devices branch. Can you go to your device manager and see where yours shows up? Also, right click on it and find the driver files that correspond to the 5d. I also found this link, other guys are trying to sort this out too: My device manager on Windows 8 x64 .

I think my problem is that it's showing up in the 'portable devices' section as if it was a memory card rather than a camera. So windows probably loaded a generic device driver. Also, if you could, right click on the Canon EOS Mark II icon and select properties, then the driver tab on top of the dialog. Next, click the driver details.

A new dialog box will pop up that shows the actual drivers that are being used. See mine below, looks like the MTP driver is being used, which I believe is a generic memory card kind of driver, rather than something from Canon. I know this is a pain, thanks!

Wayne  Device drivers being used on my Win8 x64 system with EOS 5D Mark III that will not 'connect' to EOSUtility. Yeah I tried uninstalling / reinstalling, no luck. I did reload my old Win7 configuration in a virtual machine / Vmware on Win8 (pretty slick, for free none the less) and Win7 works fine. The driver list looks similar, except the first driver shows a revision level (6.2.92) and says win8_rtm where the Win7 driver was older. No big deal really since I can run EOSUtility from the virtual machine. I already had installed a WinXP VM to make it work a couple weeks ago.
