I have a Canon Ixus 500 and I drastically need to transfer photos from it to my computer.However when I connected it CameraWindow wouldnt load and after a
series of phone calls to the assholes at Canon I have no way of getting pictures on computer.Ive tried downloading drivers off Canon but to no avail. Does anyone know any other method?Please Im DESPERATE

warning may not work with your camera/system but its fine with any camera I've plugged in to it.

i assume it takes some sort of memory card [SD?] usually when u connect the camera to your pc it recognises it as a storage device and it show up as a drive in my computer and u can copy/paste the photos, as opposed to using an program u got with cannon, you dont even need drivers.

are u using a card?

Ye its a 'Silicon Power Compact Flah 512 MB' card.But I cant see the photos at all

I must be dumb but I dont understand how this would help.Please excuse my lack of camera expertise.What would this do?
Thanks

Maybe I'm dumb. I presume CameraWindow is just a software prog to transfer the pix from camera to PC via USB. If is not being recognised then FinePix Viewer may work as an alternative.

A card reader should sort you out, about ~€20. Sounds like you might have dodgy USB cable or something. Did you try a different one? Is there any settings on the camera for usb settings, like DPOF and normal and so on?
