I can't see the picture on the LCD screen before I take the picure. Is there anything I can do to correct this? I have a SD850 IS and I've had it only 2 months.

When you are taking the picture are you following the correct procedure? Press shutter button and hold half way till camera focuses. Then without releasing it press it fully down.
Sounds like a cracked LCD screen. You may be able to fix it if you can find a replacement screen. I usually search ebay for a broken camera with other problems that I can cannibalize. Here's some examples on LCD replacement. Don't recommend that you try this yourself, unless you have some experience and are comfortable with electronics.
Otherwise, the cost of professional repair is usually beyond the value of this camera. A better option is to sell the camera on ebay for other repair hobbyists to attempt replacing the screen for themselves. You actually may get a good price for the camera IF it's still capable of taking pictures.
Can you take a picture and it looks good when you transfer it to your computer? Is that what you meant? Can you see the menus, or do you see nothing at all on the screen at any time?
Its possible your camera is in a 'power save' mode and the LCD is turned off to save battery power. Try pressing the "Disp" button once and see if it turns on. If not, press it again... did it turn on? This happens to a lot of people.
If that is not the solution, then please contact me and let me know.
Good luck from: Darntoothysam com (a digital camera repair business)
if u can see other programs then the problem will be due to the signal fail the cable connecting may be faulty and it is very rare for a new player u check it with a new cable and change the pal and ntsc it may also make the picture correct
The solution is to push the DISP button.
