1. Right-click the [My Computer] icon on the desktop, and then select [Properties] from the menu that appears.
2. Click the [General] tab on the [System Properties] screen, and then check the [System] shown.
If SP2 or earlier is shown, please download and install the latest service pack from the Microsoft Web site.
After doing that, please update ImageBrowser EX following the instructions in Automatically Updating ImageBrowser EX.
If a message like the one below appears and the automatic update does not work, it could be that the computer you are using is not correctly connected to the network. In that case, click [OK], and then check the following things.
Cause 1. Some sort of problem could be occurring with the Internet connection.
Please check to see if there is a problem with your Internet connection. For information about how to connect to the Internet, please consult your network administrator or Internet Service Provider.
Cause 2. Communication with the [Canon Auto Update Service] is being prevented by security software.
