IF you have plug-n-play capabilities,
you also need a USB cord that goes from the camera to the computer -
Many have USB ports on the front, now.
1) Plug the USB cord into the computer.
2) Plug the USB cord into the camera.
3) Turn the camera on (some cameras have a setting they need to be on to transfer pics - make sure you're set on that)
4) The computer should find the appropriate drivers and programs to read the pictures on the camera.
4a) If having them on the computer is enough for you, make sure the
"delete when transfer complete" box that will be in most programs.
4b) Make sure the pix will download to the folder you want them two.
4c) if you want to make an album/folder for the set of pix from the
camera, do so now (program prompts should show you how. If not, hit
"HELP") - I usually just use the date in reverse - Feb 20, 2008 would
be "20080208" - keeps 'em sorted in order.
5) Click GO, SUBMIT, TRANSFRER, or whatever your program calls it.
6) Turn off camera when all are downloaded.
The program should probably open the folder into which you downloaded the pictures.
I may have missed a step or two, but it should be fairly easy to figure
out. You can leave the USB port cable plugged in, if you have enough
ports, then all you need to do is connect your camera and turn it on.
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.

Had the same problem and here is what I found to work. This was done on XP when my wife's Vista notebook would not work.
Install the software and reboot.
Connect the camera to the computer so it is recognized.
Disconnect and take pictures.
-- Ready to download --
Start the PixLoader application.
WAIT for the camera to shut off before connecting to the USB and then connect it.
Click "Download".
The pictures should be on your PC.
When I tried to use other methods (like using My Computer) it deleted my photos. It took a bit to figure out how to get it to work.
That will happen. If you open the camera from My Computer, or Computer in Windows Vista, it completely empties the memory. You need to use the Pix Micro Downloader to transfer the pictures from the camera to the computer. There should be a shortcut on your desktop for the Downloader. If there isn't you can go to the following address to get the installer package for it.
Depending on your operating system the downloader program may not work.
1. Open 'My Computer' or 'Computer' on Vista and connect the camera to the PC. 2. Watch the screen for a new "Removable Disk" to appear. 3. Double click on
the "Removable Disk". 4. Double click on the folder "DCIM". 5. Pictures
will be located in the listed sub-folder. This should be named "100IMAGE".
You can then drag and drop or cut and paste them into the My Snapshots folder located in My Pictures.
