Perhaps you had difficulty navigating the Canon web site. Try at

Go through the camera's settings and see if you can set the interface to
"mass storage/USB device" (or whatever they call it).

This will ensure the data is of a format readable by most PCs without any
additional software (they will just treat the camera as if it was a USB
stick).

I have an A40 and my system sees it as another drive.
If you can see it them I'd skip the Canon software and use Google's Picasa.

problem. it's viewing the cameras pictures as we speak. thanks a lot
