You have your real answers above, but if you end up having to pay for a new USB cable, consider buying a card reader instead. It costs just about the same. 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 can buy various kinds of card readers to accomodate many different memory cards pretty much anywhere that they sell digital cameras. Even WalMart has decent card readers by the major manufacturers.

No, there is no such thing as a "universal" USB cable. The computer end is standard, there must be a gadzillion variations on the camera end. But maybe they are starting to standardize since my Nikon D90 cable works on my TomTom navigator. Like Squirly says take your camera to The Shack and have them help you.

Just beetle along to the nearest decent computer shop, take your camera with you and ask for a USB Cable to fit. Maplins, Walmart and Curry's are sure to have them.

depends on which camera...
Some use a standardized mini-USB connection...
Some use a USB-Mini-phono plug cable
Some use "proprietary" cords and you have to get that from the camera maker.

Go buy a card reader.. hook it up to your PC
and then download your sd card that way.
You'll be surprised how quickly it works and
you'll save your batteries.
