Canon Powershot S200. Using a USB port connection to transfer from Camera
itself to Zoombrowser. Has worked for me 3 years. Now I get a error box
that says the camera is not connected and it can't read it. I have checked
my connections and even tried reloading the Zoombrowser cd that came w/ the
camera. Can anyone help me or give me suggestions on something to try? It
may be something simple; hope so. TIA

Renee, that worked! Thanks so much. I had not uninstalled and that was
what I did wrong.
