Hi there the question is not much clear. But i will inform you 1st the if you connect the USB with camera you can't operate the camera for photo taking . So zoom not working. But if you mean that as normally when you try to click photo with out USB connection but that time zoom or lens not working then try to do this.
Please follow the steps and let me know the result.
1. Ensure batteries are fully charged & clean the battery connector point in side the battery compartment.
2. Look carefully between the lens and the camera body for any sand, dirt or any damaged etc.
3. Try turning the camera with the lens facing down and shake to dislodge anything stuck
4. Try removing batteries and memory card, wait 5 minutes and refit the battery only.
5. Now turn on camera( with out card ) and see ,if working then fix the memory card & again turn on the camera. If working then fine . Otherwise format the memory card and fix back in camera again & try. Make sure before format the memory card take a back up all photos in your computer then format. If no luck then reset or restore the camera setting by pressing Menu key for 2 sec .. in not done the press both Menu & self time key for 2 - 4 sec.
i hope it will gives you success.

Fix #1: Remove the batteries from the camera, wait a few minutes. Put a fresh set of batteries back in (preferably rechargeable NiMH 2500mah or better) and turn the camera on. Fix #2: Remove the batteries, then remove the memory card. Then install the new batteries, when you turn it on it should come back to life. If you get another type of error message this may mean you don't have a memory card installed, so turn it off, slip in the memory card and turn it on one last time. Fix #3: Insert the cameras Audio/Video (AV) cable, and turn the camera on. Inserting this cable ensures that the camera's LCD screen remains off during the start process. Thus extra battery power is available to the camera's lens motor during startup. This extra power can be useful in overcoming grit or sand particals that may be jamming the lens. If the AV cable doesn't fix the lens error by itself, consider keeping this cable installed while trying fixes 4, 5, and 7 as a means to provide extra help to these fixes. But note that I DON'T recommend keeping the cable installed during Fix 6 as you may damage the AV port while tapping the camera. Reinsert the cable only AFTER tapping the camera. Fix #4: Place the camera flat on its back on a table, pointed at the ceiling. Press and hold the shutter button down, and at the same time press the power-on button. The idea is that the camera will try to autofocus while the lens is extending, hopefully seating the lens barrel guide pins in their slots. Fix #5: Blow compressed air in the gaps around the lens barrels with the idea of blowing out any sand or grit that may be in there jamming the lens. Other variations include blowing with a hair dryer in ?no heat? setting, or sucking the gaps with a vacuum (careful with this one). TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM AGAIN : Keep away from dust, dirt, grit, sand and any camera bag that has loose fibres (clean it before use). If this helps you, please vote...thankyou and good luck!

I don't have vista, but try this.
Go to my computer, connect the cable to your camera, and see if it falls under devices with removable storage

Check your Manual that the correct type of battery has been selected.
If this is the case and it is a good fresh or fully charged battery
and the camera is still not responding, take the batteries out and clean the contacts in the battery chamber.- A Pencil with a rubber[eraser] on the end will do the internal ones.
If youare still in trouble - presume the camera has died.

To give you an accurate answer you would have to give a general idea of your location, not your exact location just the city or area, as to get that battery pack you would have to go to a particular cam shop, however you can try ebay to get one at a good price.

Your camera has a feature called MF (Manual Focus) if it is switched to MF, the autofocus won\'t work. If on the right side of the screen is MF, you are sure the camera is in that mode. You can change that in Recording Menu 2.The manual is still online.Success

Go to settings and FORMAT the card.

I'm thinking you mean it is upside down on the camera screen. ??? Old man told me one time. When you get tired of trying to make that thing work right - read the instruction.

Talk to Kastar and tell them there battery messed up your camera. I am assuming the camera was working OK when you got it.
