Message "busy" won't stop....Help!!!!!

[GRock50]

When I connect my Canon 40D to my computer using the USB cable the "busy" message contiunes to flash and I cannot use the camera while connected. What's happening and what can I do? I've done the "Clear all camera settings". Please help.

what do you mean? You are trying to take photos with your camera while it is connected to your computer? I don't see why you would want to do that, and I don't think you can. Though I have only had my camera for a few weeks.

You can't shoot when it's connected like that.

Well, you can....but you have to be running the right software. It's called tethered shooting.
