Oh I am mad...

I am mad. I am very mad. I've taken some pictures the last two days and cannot upload them to my computer. Every time I connect my camera to the computer it says "USB Device Not Recognized." It seems that when I updated Microsoft XP on both my home and work computers, something makes it not recognize the Plug and Play option on my camera. Nothing I do seems to help. I went to the Canon website and tried a number of things. Downloading a new driver - check. Unplugging USB and restarting the computer - check, duh. Closing down the printer also attached by USB - weird, but check. It's not the USB cord since I've used 2 different ones. It's not the computer.

I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any ideas? I really don't want to have to take my card into the store everytime I want to download pictures. I also don't really want to buy a card reader just because XP is being stupid.

Maybe reinstall the software that came with your camera? I also have a Canon and I am able to download the pictures from my camera on computers that don't have the software. The computer recognizes it as another drive and you can drag them to another folder. I hope that helps.
