WinXP? Try a different USB port.

If you're using ME or 98 you may need drivers and may have trouble with USB Flash Card readers. I assume you're using XP. Have you looked at the Canon web site? It says [link\|http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SuprtKnowledgeBaseAct&fcategoryid=221&modelid=12942\|here] that if your computer locks up on connecting the camera, you should try a different USB port. If that doesn't help, browse around [link\|http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SupportDetailAct&fcategoryid=221&modelid=12942\|here]. Since you have the same problem with the scanner, that's another indication that there's a problem with the USB port. HTH a bit. Good luck. Cheers, Scott.

Meanwhile, John was able to get some software called Gphoto2 with a graphical front end called GTkam, downloaded to his Linux computer, and was able to get the photos off the linux computer by burning them to a CD and taking them in here to load them on mine. So we did find a round about way to get the photos off for now, we're just looking for a better way in the long run.
