When I connect camera to computer and turn camera on then put it in playback mode, CameraWindow says "no camera found" and the green light on my camera starts flashing. I am trying to learn how to send pictures from my camera to my computer. I have a PowerShot SX50HS.
Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
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). 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 management program such as PIcasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Know this is an old post but... Some of The Canon Powershot A530 and A540 cameras are subject to an advisory recall. Seems that a small spring on the battery compartment door can short out the batteries. Suspect this of yours, in that you mentioned that your batteries weren't lasting long. If your camera is on the list, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status.

When you plug the camera in and turn it on do you hear the computer make a sound? If so open My Computer and look for a new drive letter or a camera Icon. If present open that and browse the folders there. If you see your pictures you can simply copy them to My Pictures.
If no sound and no Icon, you may need to reload the drivers. Get the drivers and a manual free downloaded from here

Do what the pros do...use a card reader to download to a folder you create on your desktop.
