Disconnect the USB cable from Camera to pc/laptop

Disconnect the power cord connecting the pc/laptop and the wall jack or surge protector

wait for 5-10 mins

Connect the power cord of PC/laptop and turn on the pc/laptop and login to your PC

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 or FireWire). 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 cataloging program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

You didn't specify a make or model laptop. Some have cameras built in, some don't. You will need to research the laptop that you are considering to tell if the camera is standard, optional, or not available. And yes, peripheral (external/add-on) cameras are available.

your laptop has to work harder when when things are connected to it thus getting hotter. it's more than likely going into thermal shutdown because the fan is dirty and blocking the cooling exhaust hence no cold air circulation.
have this cleaned and the surrounding area and all should be well.

You'll need to update the camera software for use with Vista. The Vaio isn't the problem. Thee updates for the F20 can be found here: FujiUSA

Enter Canon web site and look for your camera drivers to be used with the VISTA OS (I hope they already have it. Download the drivers to your laptop. Good Luck !

Assuming your laptop is XP then it should recognise the camera as another drive. Have you installed the Camera software that come on a disk? If so uninstall it and let Windows do the work. The other way is to invest in a cheap USB card reader
