I have a digimax S600 which turns on but won't let me take pictures or do anything.

The USB cable for your camera is available on ebay quite cheep.

Does it take standard disposable batteries or a rechargeable pack?
If the first, check they are inserted correctly as per the illustration in the battery compartment or instruction manual section on inserting batteries.
If the second type, recharge the pack.
If problem continues check Troubleshooting section of manual or online at Samsung's website.

Does your camera support SD HC? Anything above a 2gb SD card is concider a HC; so if your camera can't support HC format then you can not use that card.

Does anything happen on your computer when you plug in your camera?  Make sure the camera is turned on if not.  You may need to press OK on the camera also when it is plugged in.

There is a clock icon to the right of the menu/ok button. Press this. Press the shutter button once. You have about 5 seconds to pose the picture.
