The images do not appear on the scanner and camera wizard. These shots are all full resolution (3888x something) RAW files, and about 10-11 MB each. As opposed to the other jpg's that were 3-5MB. How do I get around this?
-PLEASE HELP!
-ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Lets go back to the beginning.
Your camera can shoot various JPEG file resolutions and it can also shoot in RAW. I will take it you know what is in a RAW file, so I won't spend time explaining that.
Most OS's have a download you can add what will make the image files visible in both Windows Explorer and Mac's Find.
All this to say, when you only shoot in raw, you have to process each one in order to see them unless you download the free RAW converter for your OS.
Here is what the pros do. They shoot in the RAW + JPEG to capture all their images so that they can later after you get home, edit the JPEG files (this means sort, not manipulate images) and then only process the corresponding RAW image files from the best of the best.
The camera wizard isn't seeing the RAW files as anything. So you'd need to use Canon's software. EOS Utilities will do it for the direct connection to the camera, and the ZoomBrowser (Image Browser if it's a Mac) will take care of the file transfer when using a card reader.
I use ZoomBrowser EX Memory Card Utility myself. I have it set to sort images into separate folders by date taken. You can also have the program rename files as it uploads to the computer.
For processing RAW files I use Canon's DPP. [URL Truncated] It's great for a free program.
~~~~ if all else fails, use a card reader and do the drag and drop thing in My Computer.
It sounds like your computer doesn't have the required codecs for the .cr2 files that the 40D writes in RAW mode.
You need to download the current version of the Canon software, or a third party converter such as adobe DNG converter (free from Adobe website)
If you are using photoshop then you need to install the latest camera raw plug in for the version of your software, again, free from the Adobe website.
