Most brands of cameras deliver a CD with the camera, containing software, needed to backup, transfer and work with the pictures shot, on a computer.
Most of the time there is software is for both, Windows and MAC.
Before you connect the camera to any computer, you should install the software. The disk also has the drivers for the old operating systems.
If you lost the CD, or just don't know where it is right now, you can go to the site of your camera brand and try to download the software you need. For that look under support.
If your camera is old, and the brand does not exist anymore, try a freeware picture transfer / editing software pack. Like Gimp or Adobe Photoshop elements.
Just connecting a camera to a computer causes two things. The camera shuts down, and the computer won't recognise the camera. So nothing works.
Some cameras can be charged with an USB cable connected to the computer. Another reason, why the camera shuts down when no software and no driver is installed.
Transfer 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.
There are also plenty of photo catalog software packages out there, some free, some not, that can transfer and catalog your pictures so you can quickly find pictures from Susie's birthday party, for example. Just do a google search for "photo catalog software".
You need the drivers and some other software which enable you to make changes to the pictures. You could go to this link to download the drivers and install it. http://www.driversdown.com/drivers/24122.shtml
after you install the drivers, connect your Argus. after the drivers are installed double click your computer icon. It will display your hard drive (c:) and anything else conected to your computer. Find Argus and double click on it. Now you can download or delete pictures stored in your Argus DC-3185.
Hi there. Yes you should be able to transfer the files to the PC without the software CD, just connect it to the PC and it should detect it as a "removeable storage device" click on computer and you should see it, double click on that and you should be able to copy your data to the PC.
You probably don't have the drivers installed. Did you first do a "set up" from the CD that came with the camera? It would be necessary to install the software onto your computer - not just insert the CD into the computer.
You might try putting the pix on a rewritable cd, and then copying them from that drive onto the smartcard drive with your card inserted. Or just try copying directly from your computer file to the smartcard drive with your card inserted, essentially using the computer's hardware to do the job instead of the camera's software.
