Download photos to my system

Software to do what?

If you just want to download your photos from the camera to the computer, you don't need any special software.

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 management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

If you really want the Canon software, you may download some of it from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/other_powershot/powershot_sx110_is_black#DriversAndSoftware

What do you mean? Pics downloaded to your computer and now pics will not download?

You don't need the Canon software.

Check that you have the correct driver installed for your operating system. You can download it from Canon here.

Yes, you need to install the SX100 driver software as well. I wouldn't overwrite older versions of the Canon software, though, so do a selective install if you can.

It's very hard to troubleshoot software problems online, and it likely is a software issue. You may fix it, but it will pop up again some day. Camera/cable interface problems are notorious. But why put up with the headache of these software problems? Please see the following post, as it outlines a much easier, faster, and less error prone alternative way to download your photos:
