I connected my camera to my PC thru the USB drive, but it does not recognize it, i hvae installed the USB driver as well as the software required. It pops up the New hardware found dialog, but is not able to recognize the correct software.
The same is happening even for my mobile phone, any ideas why???

i had the same problem. I finally talked to some of my "techie" friends and found out that my windows operating system was missing some files. i went to microsoft.com and downloaded the windows service pack 2 software, installed it, restarted the computer, removed the software from the camera, then reinstalled the camera software and voila! it worked. This will only work if you have a genuine copy of windows though.

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.

OK - rule out each potential problem in turn - USB port - plug camera into a different port. Cable - you've done & seems OK. If still not working then uninstall & reinstall - but i would still suggest using a different USB port! I have no idea why but sometimes I just have to move stuff and it all starts working again OK! (and that's a lot of moving - I have >30 ports via hubs internal & external & native - so cycling my USB devices is a little nerve wracking! Never failed to get everything running again though!

insert the camera software CD, and give the computer the path to the CD when it shows A New hardware found.

you need to install the correct driver for that model of camera.
