Answer 1

I don't know about using the camera as a web cam, but a card reader is cheap enough if you can't find the software. (I'm not saying that you CAN'T use it as a web cam - I just am not familiar with that.)

If you end up having to pay for a new USB cable, consider buying a card reader instead. This will work with any camera you buy in the future, as well.

If you 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 editing 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.

You're a lot larger off simply shopping a USB CF card reader (or a multi card reader could be a larger alternative given that it'll help more recent playing cards too). Then all you have got to do is insert the CF card into the reader, then insert that for your pc's USB port. Windows will then mechanically realize it as a detachable force/gadget (or seem in My Computer/Computer to your computer) then comfortably replica the documents in your difficult force. You don't want any program, drivers or USB cable whilst utilising the above approach...
