	Log in to remove this sponsored message I'm in USA (Digital Ixus purchased in UK) and my Zoombrowser has crashed in a major way. I input images to PC via PCMIA adapter card. I've tried to find where I can download another version of the software and re-install but can't find a source. Downloaded drivers are no good as my USB cable is in UK! Any bright ideas?

	This is a VERY common problem, and the Nov 01 tip from the anonymous techie tells how to fix it. However, I found that it kept reoccuring. I had thousands of jpgs in my zoombrowser data base. I have learned that if I keep the number of jpgs in Zoombrowser to less than 1000 (or so), it works fine. I only really need to use Zoombrowser to work on recently taken photos, etc. I use other tools for just viewing pics. When I do bring in an old subdirectory to Zoombrowser (mainly to rename them), it is a pain waiting for them to rebuild their thumbs, but it is far better than coping with these crashes.

	I have been having similar problems with ZB ex. Get error message:0x80040240. can't edit or do anything with photos from ZB ex. Have to use Picture it (another clunky piece of art from MS), or go to the files in another place and work there. I have emailed Canon and have noT heard from them. I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON A MAC? Thin is - when the program works it works well. Thanks

	why is it on occasion in Zoombrowser an image becomes corrupted and half of it is whited out and the original JPEG is altered the same way too? Also the backup was affected in the same way so I have no way of restoring the image.

	Amazing! Just found an update to Zoombrowser EX on http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/NOTICE/ZBEX321-e.html It points to 11 files, all of which are needed for a full ver 3.2.1 install. It will uninstall the old version first. Hopefully this works. For one thing it is considerably faster!

	Many many thanks to the Nov 01 person. We were going crazy trying to uninstall and reinstall and get the Zoombrowser software back up and running. Thank you who ever you are. We're off on hols to Cornwall tomorrow and will have fun with the camera after all. XXXX:)

	This is for the ingenius Anonymous Canon Tech if he/she is still out there: Please help. I'm using V3.3 of Zoombrowser with the Powershot S10. I have over 2000 jpgs, each one with attributes that I have typed into the Comments box in the "i" window. I back up my images on zip by copying my folders from C:\Programs\Canon\Zoombrowser\Image Library One. However, when I open the back-up images from the Zip drive, the image properties are not retrievable, only the actual camera specs. I actually lost all of my image properties when Zoombrowser version 3 (which came with the camera) corrupted itself and then I realised that my back-up hadn't saved the image properties. Canon South Africa sent me V3.3 as compensation, but they say that it is still not possible to backup the image properties at all. Right now I am therefore typing up the image attributes in a separate Word doc., which sort of defeats the whole purpose of using Zoombrowser in the first place. ANY BRILLIANT IDEAS AS TO HOW TO BACKUP THE IMAGE PROPERTIES FROM THE COMMENTS BOX WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED! From Leigh in Cape Town

	I had just added some new pics off my camera into my Zoom Browser database, and it was persistently showing 2 identical versions of the new folder. I deleted one, but now the remaining one says that the images are no longer there -- and indeed, they seem to have been deleted. I assumed that I would be able to retrieve them from the Recycle Bin, but they are nowhere to be found. Does anyone know where to look for Zoom Browser's deleted files? Any help would be greatly appreciated -- I'm kicking myself like crazy for not backing up the damned database first...

tEMPus unwashed heathen (guest) IP: Logged	Sep 20, 02 at 10:19pm ^ re: Zoombrowser Help
	I've been having a whole mulitude of problems with ZoomBrowser, but the latest one is really testing me. I managed to get the program running for almost two weeks and then for no apparent reason it just wouldn't let me load it. I proceded to uninstall the application, thinking it was corrupt, with the intention to re-install it. When I try to do this I get a 112 error message (failure decompressing files) and the installation abruptly ends. I can find no documentation for this error and have exhausted all my solutions. Any suggestions, anyone?

	thanks for solving my problem. i almost lost all the data. thks again it really worked out and evrthg is great. but since evrbdy is hvg the similar problem then canon should correct the software????i am sure they know about it. quote anonymous canon tech THese proceedures will take care of 95% of any error you will get with this program. First run the unistall. then go to windows explorer and open c:\program files\canon\zoombrowser and delete both the program folder (not the zoombrowser folder) and database. always always always leave the Image Library One folder( this is where your photo files reside) sometimes you will only have one or the other as far as database and programs. reguardless both have to be deleted before reinstallation. Your pics are not deleted during uninstall but it would make you feel better make a back up copy before hand. reinstall and open the software. press the F5 key or go under view\refresh current library and your library will be rebuilt. IT WILL ONLY REBUILD THE FILES THAT RESIDE IN THE IMAGE LIBRARY FOLDER. if you have more than one library you need to add it again. anonymous for job security reasons

	Hello, because I already had some problems with the zoombrowser, I am very afraid of loosing my "information" that is stored in the data base. Therefore, everytime I make a significant change to my pictures (and ESPECIALLY to the structure of the folders in Zoombrowser), I make a backup copy of the entire folder "Database" located in the Zoombrowser folder. I experienced that, by deleting the corrupted data base, and brutally back-copying the copy of the data base into the Zoombrowser folder, a lot is restored. What is NOT restored is, when the structure or the names of the folders have changed. I try to make my backup copy in a very systematic way. I even have more than 4 copies of the data base now, taken at different moments. Nobody of my family is allowed to make structural changes to the data base, without my supervision ! I hope this helps. R-ton Belgium

	Has anyone tried the 4.0 version that comes with the S230 camera. It unistalled my previous version of zoombrowser only to find out that when I open 4.0 I couldn't see any of my mapped or network drives. I keep all my pictures on a server at home and this new version, for some reason, doesn't allow me to see my drives. Has anyone come accross this. Can this be possible. If so, how can Canon take away that feature!!! thanks. FL
