Here is what you can try.
Don't use the camera for downloading the pictures.
Buy a card reader.. prices vary from a few $$ on Ebay (for instance) to maybe near $20.00 for the best kinds.Also many printers now come with the card readers built in. Use the card reader for downloading the pictures from your card from your camera. Since I repair a number of kinds of cameras, I use a card reader...no software needed, no drivers.
Download the pictures in a folder (preferably on C, or another drive in it's own folder, not in my documents) and then use a program to view, edit or save to cd or DVD.
A nice thing about a card reader is that with most newer operating systems the card reader will be detected as a mass storage device.
You mentioned that some of the pictures are not readable.
Here is what to do if you cannot read the file. First try to copy the files from the card in a card reader. If it is on the camera, copy all pictures to a card.
Then use the card reader to copy the files to your hard drive. Next put the card back in the camera and delete any unreadable files. The reason to do this is that if they are corrupted, you won't get them anyway. If they are corrupted in any way, you may not be able to see the whole file correctly, but you may be able to fix them if once on the hard drive...I am not sure, and I usually have had to delete them anyway.
Then once you have all the files off the card, be sure to FORMAT the card if your camera has that option. Never format with the computer, that may work, but I have lost some pictures because of such a decision I made one time. Always format the card with the camera you will use it in only for that one. And too, do not mix the card to other cameras...not a very good idea.
