I have a Canon EOS Kiss , originally purchased to use with XP, I have been loading images onto my laptop (Vista OS) for a year now and have not had any problems until recently. Now the message pops up, "cameralauncher.exe stopped working". Can you tell me what the problem is and how to fix it?

I'm going to assume that you have upgraded to a newer computer OS and that before you were able at one time to download pictures to a PC using a different OS. If this is so what is happening is that the camera software/firmware is not compatible with the new system. If you were able to load the camera software onto your PC then it is possible for your to go to the Canon site and update the camera firmware it's free takes a few minutes. Actually it takes longer to find the updates then to do the updates. Updating the camera has a bunch of benefits generally helps the camera process data faster. There is another way and that is to purchase a memory card reader which bypasses the camera altogether. You plug the card reader into the computer USB port and then insert the memory card into the card reader, the computer looks at this as an external hard drive. You can then create a folder in "My Documents" and copy past the images into the "new" folder. If you have the camera software installed you can then open these images in the software OR as many others have done is purchase a Photoshop program bypassing the camera software. At one time purchasing Canon printers and small point and shoot cameras came with Photoshop Elements 2 and that program is a great learning tool, I'm sure it's much more advance now. Also there are entry level Photoshop programs available with a ton of image processing power that can be bought at very reasonable prices. By purchasing a multiple memory card reader (one reader with all the memory card slots) and a Photoshop program you can completely step around the factory stuff that came with the camera. This would allow you to work with any memory card from any digital camera it doesn't have to be a Canon. Hope this was a help
Make sure you turned the camera on. Could be a bad cable. Best thing to get is a usb card reader. Some people report problems of bent pins because of removing and reinserting them in the camera. So be careful there. Re-Install the software that came with it from Canon. Or you can download it from CanonUSA. URL below.
