Stick can't drop pic

Hello all,

I'm absolutely brand new to CHDK and having some problems getting started. Hopefully I posted this in the right spot.

I'm trying to install CHDK for a CannonSD770. I'm running Win 10(64). When I run stickx.cmd, it asks for permission. I click yes, and the program launches, but it doesn't allow me to drop a picture file. My mouse is the 'no' circle. I can't get it to analyze the jpg.

I tried running Stick.jar. It allows me to drop the pic, analyzes, downloads the build, but when I scan for the drive it comes back with Drive D: Size, partitioning bootability unknown.

I've attached both log files. Oddly they both say I'm running a 32bit machine, which is inaccurate. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.

I'm at a loss and would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Unfortunately the process that STICK uses to get permission (needed to be able to read and write the boot sector of the card) disables Windows Drag-n-Drop (the STICK webpage does tell you this). Instead you have to use the Browse button to locate and open a JPG.


This is a known Windows issue which has nothing to do with STICK - except that STICK uses the 'elevate' mechanism to get permission.


When STICK says its a 32bit machine, what it means is that the 32bit dll it uses was successfully loaded - if it isn't it tries to load the 64bit version. I guess I should change the message!
