The lens is jammed in, either the unit has had a knock or there is debris (sand/grit) in the unit, been to the beach lately.

If you can view the photos on your camera, and they are stored on a removable device (such as a Sandisk), then you should be able to load the removable device into a computer and copy the photos using Explorer. If this does not work with Windows XP, it could be due to the fact that Windows XP is no longer supported with upgrades. I would try to upload the photos to a computer running a current version of Windows (scan the removable device for malware before uploading to the computer). If that works, it's time to upgrade your computer. (I upgraded my XP computer to a Linux OS.)

The DMC-FZ5 works with any SD card, 2GB or smaller. It will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.

first install the software that came with the camera on CD, to the computer. Only then you can connect the camera and manage the pictures on your camera and put them on your computer.
