The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Nikon Transfer ( http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61 ).
Are you removing your memory stick and then placing it into a port on your computer, or do you plug a cable in to your camera? Either way, it should work.
If cable: (camera OFF) plug both ends of cable to their respective ports, then turn camera on. Windows should then detect the camera, (and maybe install drivers for it {"Found New Device"}), and then you should get the "your device is installed" window. If you don't get the "Copy your pictures" window, you may need to turn it off, wait a few seconds, and then power it back on before that happens.
If memory stick: Windows should detect your memory stick, again maybe it will need to install drivers,unplug, wait a few seconds, return it to the memory stick port.
Also, sometimes your product will come with it's own CD or DVD with download instructions or manuals, apps, etc., on it.
Hope this helps!
