Canon Powershot G2- Downloading Picture Problem?

Question

I'm having some problems downloading the pictures on the computer. I plug the G2 using the USB port and I turn the camera on. Then, the computer recognizes that the camera is connected but it doesn't show the camera onto My Computer. Do you know what's wrong? I've tried downloading the software and it doesn't work? Is there a problem with the camera or the computer?

What else can I do?

Thanks for the reply.

Answer 1

Buy yourself a card reader.

They are very cheap, and overall the better method for uploading, anyway.
