Can't download photos from my camera

Hi all. I've had Vista for about 9 months. For the first 8 I could
attach the USB cable to my camera and to the computer and the little
icon popped up allowing me to down load the photos.

No longer.

Anybody have any idea where it went and what it takes to recover this
feature?

Many thanks.

Did the camera come with a CD? also exactly explain what happens once you
insert the usb, does your computer recognize that a new hardware is detected?
also try plugging it in another usb port.

Hi,

You might need to check your settings on your camera. Check the instruction
manual for details on how to do this. You might also need to install an
update on your PC. Alternatively, if you have a card reader on your machine
and your camera uses SD memory cards (or equivalent), you might like to see
if you can access your photos by plugging your memory card directly in to the
reader. This is actually the best way to do it if you have a lot of photos to
transfer as it will save the batteries in your camera. If you don't have a
card reader, they can be obtained from most computer hardware shops
relatively cheaply. Most card readers will read from (and write to) several
types of memory device. For each physical memory card slot on your reader
there should be a drive in Computer starting at the next available drive
letter.
