I cannot get my canon powershot sd750 to download images through the USB cable. I've tried three different cables, none of which have worked. I can download or upload fine with a different camera as well as my cellphone, so I don't think the problem is my computer. I'm able to download photos through my card reader but would really like to be able to use the USB.
I had the same problem and realized that my computer wasn't recognizing my camera. I went through my device manager and looked under portable devices, I could see that my camera had an error in its driver, so I right clicked on my camera and uninstalled the driver for my camera, and unplugged and plugged my camera back in. It instantly recognized my camera and reinstalled the driver.
In the same boat as above...used to work without issue, then today the camera was visible in "My Computer" view, but the CameraWindow application wouldn't start.
I just got it to work by:
- going into the properties for the camera in windows explorer (right clicking, select "properties")
- goto "Events" tab
- ensure "Start Program" action is selected and set to "Canon CameraWindow" (my action was set to "Prompt for which...")
Hope this helps
Same problem. i thought it may be the camera, so i returned it and got another. still having this problem. pretty irritating...
Is the camera being recognised by your computer, and have you checked your camera settings and that your memory card doesn't have the lock switch locked so that you can't take images off of the card?

Exact same problem as 642julie tried diferent cables and can also download using two other cameras and cellphone but no joy with this canon.
I have the exact same problem. It worked fine thirty minutes ago and when I tried to connect my camera to my computer with the USB cable again, it didn't work. I've tried several computers and I believe it's either the USB cable or my camera..
I have a new Canon SD750.
I installed the S/W from the attached disk.
I connect it to the PC using the USB.
I turn on the camera.
Now it should open a popup menu, but nothing happens.
Same problem here as well, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software several times as we as deleting the USB off of the device manager and letting windows reinstall it. I would prefer not to buy a card reader and am contemplating returning the camera.
I've used my USB several times with no problem. Now when I plug the camera to my computer the camera turns off automatically before the software begins to run. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software with no luck.
I am trying to download ont my computer the photo images. It states that the USB Cable it not hooked in but it is. Please help
