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.

Most of the major camera makers use the standard USB mini connector for connection on the camera and the standard USB-a connector into your computer. Some of the off brand cameras use a proprietary cable

just buy card reader which you can plug in to your PC USB,
I paid for mine something like 5 pounds, and it's more convenient to you, for example you want to show pictures to your friends, so You just take card and cad reader, there is no need to take camera with you. You can buy one in Currys.

Just buy a Memory card reader, it is easier and plugs straight into your USB port

Any electronics store, or computer, or camera shop should be able to sell you one. Or on ebay.

You probably need a garden variety USB cable - you can get them almost anywhere.
