Can't copy files from my camera

Hello,

I am having a rather strange problem. I have canon powershot A430 and I
have no
problems connecting to the camera. In "My Computer" I can see the
camera, I can see the thumbnails of the files but I can not copy them
to my hard drive. It looks like Copy-Paste, dragging files or using
"copy the selected items" doesn't do anything. I can still download the
photos using "Get pictures from camera" wizard as it still works but it
is very irritating to use it. All I want is to copy-paste photos. I
know it used to work but for some reason it stopped. It used to work
but for some reason
it just stopped.



If anybody can help me it will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Rob

Adding an inexpensive ($0 to $20) USB media card reader to your
computer solves all problems with picture transfer, by eliminating
the camera software as the link.
