Help! I've updated my firmware...

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM

...and now my computer doesn't recognise the camera!

I tried to reinstall the drivers, but it says I don't need to because it's already properly installed.

I wanted to verify the new firmware version in ZoomBrowserEx, like the instructions said to, but no luck - my computer no longer recognises the camera.

Any clues, folks? Or is a hearty sob all that's left for me, now? :-(

Ok, not to worry. Whew! That was scary!

I uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted and everything is perfect. I finally have complete firmware update success. Nice. :D

Cheers! I did that, too.

My heart was in my mouth, I tell ya! Everything appeared to go well, right up to that one hiccup.

I think I'll go grab a beer, now.
