Why not install the appropriate driver for your OS ? Failing that, put the media card into a stand alone USB card reader attached to your computer, and download the images thus.
Testimonial: "I will get a USB card reader - that's the easiest way to solve this issue as the camera is still in a wonderful condition. I have already priced one from a local dealer - thanks for the suggestion!"
That's OK - glad I could help.

I posted a solution yesterday on Fixya, but can't find it. Same problem, same camera, solution reached on Feb 10 2009 after a couple days of frustration. I gently wiggled the lens by pushing my fingers one on either side (not the outer ring, but the inner ring, but keep your fingers off the glass part). It moves perhaps a fraction of a millimeter, but it moves. After I did that, the problem went away. It's hard to describe, just a gentle 3 or 4 times push on either side; you may have to change finger positions to get the movement. It apparently only takes this to get the lens back on track. Good luck, it's a great camera. Lee

Forget the cable. Do what the pros do...use a card reader.
