    Hello everybody,
    I got a new camera and new laptop.
    Sony SZ7 series and a Canon Eos 400D.
    Now if one thinks the cameras drivers will suppport vista (written on the box), well...it didn't work for me...

    However, getting an updatet EOS utility of Canon wasn't a problem and everything runs fine, until...well, until you let Microsoft have a go at your computer with for example updates.

    I update something, and what I get is the blue screen...
    Once Windows claimed that the problem was related to Kaspersky Internet Secuity 7..

    What I noticed, I switch on the camera and it crashes - when I reinstal the EOS utility, it no longer does and works fine.

    So why is Windows Vista killing of the camera driver??

    And is there any way to communicate this to Microsoft??

    All the best, and thank you for any answers.
