We have a Canon PowerShot A95 and just recently purchased a Canon PowerShot A1100 IS. I downloaded the Digital Camera Solution Disk Ver. 41.0 and was able to download the photos from the new camera. When I tried to download for the older camera, though, the computer did not default to the ZoomBrowser as it did for the new one. I tried downloading the Digital Camera Solution Disk Ver. 19.0 and it wouldn't download due to the fact that the newer software is on there.
Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
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. The card reader doesn't care what camera took the pictures, so you can use it with any camera (assuming the card itself fits).
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 Canon ZoomBrowser or any other photo cataloging program.
