canon 350d windows 7 driver

You need to change the connection mode from 'Computer' to 'Print/FTP' (probably not the exact wording) in the settings menu. The camera should then be recognised automatically.
Though for speed's sake, I'd advise a card reader anyway, as above

In the menu ... 5th tab (second settings tab) ... 3rd option down - "Communication".
That's if you're using a function setting such as M, Av Tv etc. If you're in one of the creative modes the menus will be slightly different but the option should still be there.

This does not solve the problem, I need to change some of the settings in the camera(registered user). This fix only allows you to transfer the photos, not to change anything else... what I need is the correct driver to allow win 7 x64 to recognise the camera.
and for christs sake a card reader does not solve the problem of finding the correct drivers....

Does it actually need Drivers though?
Shouldn't it just see it as a Memory Card via USB?
If you actually look at Canon's website, they don't even have drivers for their DSLRs:

The only software they do have are the camera control and picture editor software. So perhaps if there is a need for any driver, its embedded in those. However, that is also the same software that comes on the DVDs with the camera anyways.

My parents 350D simply appears as a removable drive when plugged in.

Canon 350D isn't compatible with windows 7 and canon have no intention of adding support. Pain in the backside to be honest as I would like to tether shoot with the camera/laptop that I have.
My camera is second hand , every photo is registered to the first owner, a Mr Smith, i am not Mr Smith, the only program allowing you to change those settings comes with the camera, but a the camera does not show up when on pc connection in the menu settings, it only shows up if set to printer settings, this allows the transfer of photo's but not the ability to change it's registry data which is blacked out and only availible if the camera is set to pc connection....the camera is not compatible with win 7 in this instance. A firmware update or driver update could fix it but Canon seems to have gone the route of Apple and blocked further advancement of older devices, essentially slowly making them unusable...i thought that maybe someone somewhere had developed a fix for it as so many people do.
you sir need to learn to read...
And you, sir, need to chill the **** out. You open a 3 year old thread and then demand a solution to a problem you've got that is clearly different to the OP's. Simply posting a new question, rather than going off on one, would have been more effective, no?
I've posted before ...
Well it's unresolved because, as has been stated, you can't do this under Win7. I don't know what you're expecting here? Use a different computer or live with it. You could try doing a firmware update to something like this ... http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/350D ... which might reset that, though I don't know.
And, to be fair, I think the OP's issue was indeed solved. Hence:

No, you need to understand. Under Windows 7 it simply appears as a removable drive, none of the other functionality works however you may get away with running Virtual XP mode and redirecting the USB port to it and loading the older software in the VM.
I don't think this is actually a driver thing.
The ability to change the user details / copyright messages on Canon EOS Cameras is done through EOS Utility.
It might be worth installing that software to see if you can in fact change the user name etc on your camera.
The following is an old thread from another forum and it seems that a few users reported being able to use EOS Utility on both 32bit and 64 bit Windows 7 to connect to the 350D. One user mentions installing the Vista Driver for the Camera (but I think you can only do this on a 32bit version of Windows 7 rather than the 64 bit version). Anyway, here is the link.
