Lightroom not seeing RAW images from...

I am running Lightroom and if I take RAW images on the Canon 20D and I click Import, select the 20D as the source, it says ''No images to import'' now if I open the EOS transfer utility and download it there, save it as a CR2 and then Open it in Lightroom it all works fine. Am I doing something wrong?

There are known issues with direct importing from Canon SLRs. You may need to use a card reader, or as you've already found, another transfer solution.



Having said that, I've never had a problem importing directly from my 20D on Windows XP, although the Preview thumbnail imnages do not display.



I know that the EOS has an option in its menus for its communication mode; you may want to try different settings for that and see if it helps.

I'm having horrible problems uploading my RAW files, captured with my 20D, using a cardreader. More often than not, Lightroom hangs after a dozen or two files, though more are imported than are actually displayed. Even when a ''successful'' import occurs, at least ten or fifteen files are ignored or rejected for reasons that are utterly unclear. I never have similar problems with Photoshop Bridge.



I'm running Windows XP with 2GB of RAM, an AMD Athlon 64 3400 Processor (2.2 GHz), NVidia GForce FX5500 graphics card, and an absurd amount of free space in my RAID array twin internal 250GB HD's and 320GB external drive. Courtesy of absurd problems with Roxio in the past, I've updated DirectX and all my drivers and UNinstalled and roll-back my OS to Windows MediaPlayer 10 (ver. 11 really screwed up my system, a problem lots of people, apparently, have encountered).



PLEASE HELP! I've read and heard so much positive feedback on Lightroom - but for me, the darn thing, thus far, has been a bit of a waste of money. Workflow tools aren't worth anything if the beginning of the proces - uploading images - is a huge problem.
