Instead of "one that will go with everything," get a card reader, no additional software is necessary. This is not only faster, but it saves your camera batteries. Your computer or printer may even have a card reader built into it. I have enough USB ports that I just leave it plugged in all the time.
First of all, be sure there are some pictures on the card. Plug the card reader into an open USB port. Plug the card into the appropriate slot on your card reader.
I use Photoshop Elements and as soon as I plug my card into the reader, it starts its own card reader and displays a thumbnail of every picture on the card.
If this does not happen automatically, open your photo editting software. Do whatever you usually do to open a file, but click on the selector where you can change drives. Your card reader will be assigned a new drive name that will be one letter higher than you ever saw before, such as "Drive G:" or such. Then, just double click on the name of the file you want to open and it will appear in your photo editor.

If the serial port outputting from your cameria is generic you can use any usb and find them anywhere from $6 - $17 at Staples, Office Max, Best Buy and my favorite store in the world Microcenter.
They have a great online catalog check it out

I agree with Dr. Sam - get a card reader. But if you're determined to get a USB cable, make sure you get one with the correct connector - best to bring the camera with you and ask a salesperson for assistance. Good luck.

Take the Camera to a local Radio Shack and they should be able to get you a new one for a relatively cheap price.
