Thanks all for your ideas/suggestions. I will try to answer your questions, see if I can remember them all.

I am downloading the images from the CF card to the computer via card reader. Then opening the file of images with the EOS software. The EOS program tries to read each image but sends an error message with each images as follows: conversion cannot be completed.

I have Photoshop 7.0 that has a RAW converter, but will check and see if it is compatible with the 40D. Photoshop does not even recognize the images are there. I did not get a chance to fiddle with this last night but will try again tonight.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I will let you know if I get this figured out.

David
