Check to see in your programs if Canon powershot is there. Sometimes turning your computer completely off and then turning it back on helps. Especially if you have downloaded from that camera to that computer before.
Have you upgraded your flash card memory recently?
If so, it could be due to a larger/higher speed card in your camera. I've had this problem putting the latest and largest cards in my Canons. Solution is simple: get an extreme card reader and insert your card ...your computer will recognize this...
If this isn't your issue.... as Gilda Radner used to say, "NEVER MIND!"

Photo transfer problems are as likely to be related to software as to hardware. If you use photo-editing software other than what came with your camera, check the software's documentation and Web site to see if the manufacturer supports your camera. Download and install any software updates, as well.
If your photo-editing software can't detect your camera, make sure your camera is attached, turned on, and, if necessary, switched to transfer mode. Double-click the My Computer icon and look for an icon that corresponds to your camera. If you see an icon for your camera, you know that Windows detects your camera and that the problem is related to your photo-editing software.

I have the same camera. The little red light flashing is normal. It should flash for about a second and then go out. I believe the camera is reading the SD card during this time. If you turn on the camera with no SD card present this light should not flash. It sounds like you’re having problems transferring pictures from your camera to the computer. I'm guessing you’re using the USB cable that came with the camera to connect to the computer. I don't have an exact fix for this problem; it could be a defective cable or connector. However, I do have an alternative way for you to download your photos that I believe will work even better for you. Buy one of those mini SD card readers with the USB port adapters. The one I have is made by SanDisk and is called the MicroMate. Here's a link so you can see what it looks like. http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2018)-SDDR-113-A11-MicroMate_for_SDHC.aspx When you want to download your photos just unplug the SD card from your camera, insert it into one end of the SD card reader, and plug the other end into a USB port. The computer recognizes it as a flash drive. Then you can just copy from one drive to another. I find it to be much faster then using the USB cable to download photos. I hope this helps you out.
