USB Message keeps flashing

Whenever i turn my camera on and am about to take a picture, the USB message comes up on the screen, as it would when I plug it into the USB port on my laptop when I want to transfer the photos onto the computer. As a result, I cannot take any photos. When I tried to plug the camera into the USB port (via the cable) to my computer, the USB message comes up and then disappears and my computer says it cannot recognise the device being plugged in!!! Help!!!
I have the same problem except sometimes it decides to work and then if I switch it to play mode it seems to fall into the problem again, with just the USB message up and I can't change anything. I can connect it to the computer without a problem but it doesn't help? Any ideas???

I have the same problem.

Do a Google search with the following string:

(Brand Name) (Model Number) +driver

Download and install the latest drivers for your camera, this should correct any software problems in your camera. The problem with the computer may be related to the software problem in the camera.

Hope this helps.
