Hi everyone, i am new here

I have just brought a canon ixus 500 aka s500

I am having problems connecting it to my laptop to download the pictures.

I have installed all the software, but the carera is not being detected by XP home.

I have had no problems with my desktop pc which runs xp pro..

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers again, but with no luck.

My laptop is a toshiba 2450-s203 P4 2.8, 40 GB, 256 ram

Some one suggested that it could be the usb ports, but i have other hardware installed which work on all three ports.

Please could some one help me.

Thanks.
