Was reading a publication that brought me to your website saying "there is an online guide for dismantling Canon cameras and fixing the E18 error. (NOTE: Try this only if your camera is no longer under warranty!) It is a great guide with pictures and it can be found here. " So I clicked on here and now where do I go.not very intuitive at this point
Here is a video summary of the guide.
And here is a link to the guide.

The best thing to do is to first try restarting the camera. Do not push or pull on the lens as this will often cause other issues. Do not blow air in the lens as this generally moves any dirt or dust to the back and it sits on your imaging sensor, you'll end up with poor photos after that. The best thing to do is to have it serviced so it is fixed correctly and working the way it should be. The site that is great for the Powershot Models is: www.CamerasAndParts.com They only specialize in these Powershots and they have your exact lens error problem right on the site. Try them for help. They tend to be the best deal plus they're service is wonderful. You'll pay $89 for the repair, all of the service for that model and the return shipping back to you included with them. They'd be the place for help with this one, best of luck.

Solve your problem by using a card reader to download your pics to a folder you create on your desktop.

There are a couple of things you should try, remove the memory card from the camera and try connecting, if you get no error then chances are your memory card is corrupted.
If you still get an error then start looking at the cable you are using, try another if you can get one, cables are easily damaged.
You should also try checking the camera settings for USB connection and make sure it is set to Mass storage
