Camera wont download to new computor

If your computer came with Windows Vista then there's no driver for the G2 and it wil not work.

The only thing you can do is buy a card reader which downloads your pictures directly from your card. They are thankfully cheap (usually less than $20) and easy to use.

There's a gazillion types of cards & card readers so make sure you buy the right one.
