Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
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 Picasa.

Even without a software, you can still download your pictures. If
you have the usb cable for your camera, connect it to your computer's usb and
turn on the camera. The computer will then recognize the new usb
device. Go to My computer and look for the drive letter associated with
your camera. Click or double click to open that drive and look for the
folders that contain your pictures. You just have to select the
pictures and copy or drag them to your local computer.
If you need further assistance, let me know. Good luck!
you can download it form canon site or kodak easy share software. Download drivers, then install them, then reboot pc, then turn on camera, and finally hook up usb. Then run program or go to my computer and access camera files from there
well this shouldnt happen cause if you hook a usb short cable to camera the comp should recognize your camera as a new storage device under the section my computer it should be the new drive letter all the cameras ive tested on my system always gave new drive letter
you just go into the drive there where new letter is and copy and paste photos to folder you shouldnt need software for that only if your editing photos
Although I haven't had this issue with my S2 IS specifically, I have with 2 other digital cameras. The solution in both cases was to power the camera on BEFORE plugging in the USB cable.
In other words - Plug the computer end of the USB cable into the computer, do not plug the camera end in. Power up the camera in "picture view" mode, THEN plug the USB cable into the camera.
Not sure about Vista, but with XP, you should hear the familiar "Dong-ding" as the system recognizes the camera.
don't think it was the cable, they are a standard usb interface cable. Had a similar problem, when I installed software for a new camera interface. you can manually open the cannon software once the camera is hooked up to your computer. Its called "camera window" default install is start>all programs>cannon utilities>camerawindow>poweshot>camerawindow
