Can't download RAW files

[tott7000]

I have a Canon XSI and photoshop elements 6. I can take pictures in RAW ok and am really anxious to start playing around with it, but I can't get them to download on my computer. I don't think it's my computer because the one at work won't download them either. Am I missing a setting or do I need to get more or different software? I appreciate any help I can get
Thanks

In the software that came with your camera you should have zoom browser, you can process RAW there.

Or go to the adobe website and see if there is a codec for elements to read RAW.
I don't have elements so just throwing that one out there.

Thanks, I didn't even think of installing the software that came with the camera. I'm a dork

Its the canon raw drivers (codecs) you are missing...install them from the cd...and elements will be able to open the raw files
