When I connect my canon PS520 or a friends kodak camera to my computer
through the usb cable, my Windows XP recognizes the device but does not
provide a list of programs to open and use to download photos. Nor is the
device found in Windows Explore.

I need to be able to download my photos. Please help if you can.

No need for any "download" programs. Copy/move the files in Explorer
from the virtual camera drive onto the hard disk. Is this a problem?

Addendum: The device does not appear in Windows Explorer. There should be
a virtual drive after plugging in - usually the first free drive letter.
There may be problems if that drive has been mapped within the network.

Just get a USB card reader to take care of such problematical software.

Explain "...Windows XP recognizes the device...."

Regarding "...but does not provide a list of programs to open and use to
download photos....". Usually plugging in the USB cable invokes "Autoplay"
and presents a screen with options (not programs) - one of which is to open
and view files. Selecting that option shuld show one/two folders - one
titled "DCIM" (or close to that) - opening that folder and you will see the
photos desinted by number.

Open "My Computer"- verify dirve listing - also reboot with USB cable
plugged in.
