With the camera connected, you will probably find that you have another drive (such as, for example F) shown in "My Computer". This new drive, which is not present without having the camera tethered, will be the drive you need to access to get the files off the card. By clicking on this drive, you should be able to select all the files on the card (in whichever folder the camera has put them) and move them to your normal hard drive location. Once they are there, it should be possible to view them using the picture file browser software that came with your camera.
As Stephen has said, a stand-alone card reader is the way to go, they are very cheap, and well worth the money.

Thank you all for you help. I think, I'll buy a card reader, that, hopefully, is accepted by my PC...
I don't think I have Win 98SE, when I boot an shut down the PC it only sais Windows 98...
I was looking for the drive F (or any other besides A, C and R) but I could not find anything in "My Computer"... I have no idea what he does to read the files from the card. Once I attach the camera to the PC, it asks, what program should recive the files. The Canon software cannot recive them (whyever, it says, "Camera Window cannot detect the camera" ), so the Windows image program is the only available programm that works. What I don't understand: If the computer does not support USB, how can it read the data on the camera, that is attaches with a USB-Cable??
But it doesn't matter, I will buy a CF-Cardreader today. I was looking for one some days ago, but the associate in the shop said, that CF is not up to date and it could be hard to find one... I think the Rebel XTi is on the market since September 2006, okay, it's not up to date... That's Canada...
Thank you very much for all your help

P.S.: @ sassan: I found files from 2000 on the drive C; so the Computer must be at least 7 PC years old, that means he is 175 human years old...
