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.

If you haven't used it for the last 8 months and before it was all fine then the most common reason would be the battery. Your battery is absolutely dead but then again if you plug it to AC then it must show some sign of life. But give it a go by replacing new battery.

Hi there. Try this.
Turn your computer off. Unplug the camera from the computer.
Restart your computer. Make sure the camera is off and when you have rebooted, connect the usb cable to the computer. Make sure your not using a usb hub.

You can purchase replacement batteries quite cheap here:

is there a small switch on the side of your memory card? if so, check its position. if it's locked, simply slide it to unlock it. Good luck.

It could be a lens error or battery already malfunctioning. Do you get any error message or any message at all before it turns off?
