Find the CD that came with your cam.
Go to Start (settings ((on older systems)) Control Panel, add/remove programs. Find the sotware you loaded when you got your cam, click remove.
Shut down, choose restart, go to add remove programs again, insert the software into your rom drive and click add.

well i can have you try a different way!
first go to start, then my computer (it may be on your desktop). look for some thing that says removeable storage, removeable drive, or maybe even camera depending on how new your computer is. double click on it, and search through the folders and look for your pictures. you can drag them to your desktop or to a folder to save them.

Many drugstores will download the pictures off the camera and make prints for you. Most drugstores will remove the card from the camera and make a contact sheet for you. Then you pick which pictures you want them to print. The store can also produce a CD with your files.
You don’t have to use the downloading software. Open Windows Explorer. Usually, cameras connect to the universal serial bus (USB) port using a cable. The camera should show up in Windows Explorer as another drive—probably D, E, or F (depending on how many drives you have). The picture will be in the right hand pane. You should create folders in My Pictures (C:\My Documents\My Pictures) with specific dates or event names to help you locate the pictures at a later date. Do not store your pictures in the folder named Sample Pictures.
What to do when you hook up a new camera to the computer (via USB cable) but it's not showing up on the computer.
A. Sometimes the computer and camera have to be turned on in a particular order. So be sure that you are following the camera’s directions exactly (check the manual).
B. Next, make sure your USB port is working by plugging in some other USB devices in the same port.
C. If the port is okay, check your camera’s driver: Click Start, Control Panel. Double-click System (in Classic view). Select the Hardware tab. Then click the Device Manager button. Check under “Imaging devices” and under “Other devices” by clicking the Expand (+) button. If the driver is marked with an exclamation point, right-click it (you will need to uninstall and then reinstall the driver). Select uninstall from the pop-up menu. Then reinstall from the disc that came with your camera.
D. Check for updates for Windows’ USB drivers at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Be sure to leave the camera connected to your computer.
E. Check for a faulty cable: or the camera or cable might not fully meet USB specifications. You may have to buy a different USB cable—make sure that it bears a USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum) logo. You can see the various logos at the USB-IF Web site at http://www.usb.org/developers/compliance/logo/ (this is under the Developers tab).
The USB-IF site also provides listings of USB-compliant cameras (at http://www.usb.org/kcompliance/view/ , under the products tab). Your camera might meet the standard even if it is not listed—however, if it is missing from the list, the camera may or may not be compliant.
F. Finally, you may have to upgrade your computer with USB 2.0—USB 2.0 is the latest USB standard with speeds up to 480 megabits per second. Older computers may have USB 1.1 with speeds up to 12 Mbps. Therefore, the main difference is the speed of the connection. Mixing cables and ports can be done, but it will be at the slower of these maximum speeds.
First, be sure that your computer doesn’t already have it. Open Device Manager (click Start, Control Panel. Double-click System (in Classic view). Select the Hardware tab. Then click the Device Manager button). Check under “Universal Serial Bus controllers.” If you see the word Enhanced, your computer can handle USB 2.0. Check Windows Update (at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) to make sure you've got updated drivers.
Otherwise, you may have to upgrading the computer by purchasing and installing a separate USB card which should cost in the $30 to $50 price range. The USB-IF site also has listings for these cards (at http://www.usb.org/kcompliance/view/) –they are listed as add-in host adapters—click the down arrow on the drop-down list box for Search Retail Products by Category: and select Add-in host adapter. Then click the Search button.
Problems with Windows recognizing cameras, MP3 players, etc. are usually caused by connecting these devices before the required software is installed.
First, uninstall the software by clicking Start, Control Panel. Click Add or Remove Programs in Category view (double-click the Add or Remove Programs icon in Classic view). Click on the desired program and click the Change/Remove button. If you are given a Repair option, choose Remove. Then restart the computer.
Next, uninstall the device. First, connect the device to your computer. Click Start, Control Panel. In Classic view, double-click System. On the Hardware tab, select Device Manager. If you see your device listed, right-click it and select Uninstall.
If you do not immediately see the device listed, it could be listed in a number of locations: Disk drives; IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers; Universal Serial Bus controllers; or Unknown devices. You may need to click the plus (expand) sign on the left to view your choices.
The USB controllers and hubs must be removed individually (they are listed under Universal Serial Bus Controllers). If you see entries labeled “Unknown USB device,” remove them as well.
Now disconnect the device from your computer and reboot the computer. Windows will automatically reinstall the USB controllers and hubs. Balloons will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. Wait until these balloons disappear.
The software for some devices requires Windows XP Service Pack 2 (e.g., iPods). To download Service Pack 2, open Internet Explorer and click Tools, Windows Update OR have Microsoft scan your computer for any updates at http://tinyurl.com/eylck
If you have CD-burning software other than Windows XPs CD-burning software, uninstall it—it may cause conflicts. Windows XPs CD-burning component won’t cause conflicts.
Check the CD drive itself. Hardware manufacturers do issue updates similar to software patches. Check the computer manufacturer’s site to see if you need an update. Then check the device manufacturer’s Web page for possible updates.
A. If the device in question is an iPod, now is the time to install iTunes and the iPod software. Then reconnect the iPod to your computer. Hopefully your problem will be solved.
However, if you have problems reinstalling the software, it may be with stray entries left in the Registry. This will require a Registry edit. Before making changes to the Registry, backed up the Registry.
To backup the Registry:
Click Start, Run. Enter “regedit” (without the quotation marks) in the Open: box and click OK.
The Registry Editor dialogue opens. If My Computer is not highlighted, click it once.
In Windows 98, ME and 2000, click Registry, Export Registry File.
In Windows XP, click File, Export.
Create and name a folder to store the backup and click Save.
When you want to restore the Registry:
Double-click the Registry backup file.
Click Yes and then click OK.
Once you have finished backing up the Registry, click Start, Run. Type Regedit in the Open box and click OK. Look for references to iTunes, iPod and QuickTime (you can use Edit, Find [Ctrl+F] for the search). Highlight the entries and press the Delete key. Close the Registry and restart the computer. Try reinstalling the software.
If this doesn’t work or you don’t want to tackle the Registry, call Apple. Its tech support number is 1-800-275-2273. You can also find help on its support pages online at: http://www.apple.com/support
B. If the device in question is your camera, Windows XP’s AutoPlay feature sometimes becomes corrupted preventing it from recognizing the camera. The AutoPlay feature decides what happens when you connect a music player, camera or CD/DVD to the computer.
There is a program to detect problems with AutoPlay. The program will scan your computer and makes necessary repairs to your AutoPlay software. You can download the AutoPlay Repair Wizard from Microsoft at: http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c680a7b6-e8fa-45c4-a171-1b389cfacdad&displaylang=en
The wizard may solve the problem with your camera. If not, uninstall the camera’s software and any other digital camera software as described above.
[First, uninstall the software by clicking Start, Control Panel. Click Add or Remove Programs in Category view (double-click the Add or Remove Programs icon in Classic view). Click on the desired program and click the Change/Remove button. If you are given a Repair option, choose Remove. Then restart the computer.]
Connect the camera to the computer and uninstall it in Device Manager. You’ll have to do some searching to find it.
[Next, uninstall the device. First, connect the device to your computer. Click Start, Control Panel. In Classic view, double-click System. On the Hardware tab, select Device Manager. If you see your device listed, right-click it and select Uninstall.
If you do not immediately see the device listed, it could be listed in a number of locations: Disk drives; IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers; Universal Serial Bus controllers; or Unknown devices. You may need to click the plus (expand) sign on the left to view your choices.
The USB controllers and hubs must be removed individually (they are listed under Universal Serial Bus Controllers). If you see entries labeled “Unknown USB device,” remove them as well.]
Disconnect the camera and restart the computer.
[Now disconnect the device from your computer and reboot the computer. Windows will automatically reinstall the USB controllers and hubs. Balloons will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. Wait until these balloons disappear.]
Now you can reinstall the software and camera.
