Trouble Copying Video Clips To Computer

Canon S1 IS
SanDisk 1 GB CF
Windows XP


Lately, I've been unable to copy .avi files from the CF card to my computer
hard drive. Sometimes, it just creates a 0 mb file that does nothing, and
other times it aborts because of either a "thread exit or an application
request". FYI - I have never had any problems transferring .jpg files.

I tried re-formatting my card before shooting the .avi file, and I was able
to transfer this file to 2 different computers - one with Windows XP and
the other with Windows Me. Otherwise, I'm at a loss. I'm hopeful someone
has encountered this problem and can provide some insight.

Thanks.
