It seems the CMYK (CYMK?) is no longer being supported for Windows 8 but are you using Windows 8 MR? If those files are on the Canon Powershot S5is (that's what the flickr forum is for)which was launched in 2004, a lot of programmes drop support for versions 10 years old.
The Canon site has drivers and software downloads, service and support plus almost anything you might want.
