BIOS caching and shadowing is a throwback to the days where operating systems
interacted with hardware through the BIOS. It can be disabled in you BIOS
settings. When your computer is first powered up, you need to push a key to
get into your BIOS settings (usually something like [del] or [f2]). Once
there, find the settings for BIOS caching and/or shadowing (they're usually in
'advanced settings' or the like). Hope it works for you, otherwise, I would
uninstall or disable the driver until you can get help from Canon.
