Well sweet girl.... the best thing to do since you have an old computer is do this.......... get on to Google.com and type in Picasa software... when it comes up... download it..it's free.... this is a picture holding software... it's very easy to use.... then you will have to buy a little unit at Office Depot that you can put your digital memory card in directly from your camera.... there is a very nice one called Sandisk... it holds four different size cards..

load the CD that comes with it and plug it in to your USB port...

that all you have to do....don't worry about the "CABS" that's on your computer... this will by pass all that..... if you need more help.. email me at this address... and I will help you get it up and running. they keep chopping off my email address.. the end of it is yahoo.com

Not sure what your refering to cabs? i'm guessing they were talking about the cab files windows uses when it installs itself, and uses when it installs new drivers. if that's the case, then you should find them on your windows cdrom. just put it in the cd drive when it asks for it.

but, if your computer is working properly, all you should need is the cdrom that came with the camera, install the software on the camera, plug the camera into the computer, and use the software to get your pictures. On most cameras, if you have the drivers installed, you can also open up my computer and you will see a new hard drive when your camera is plugged in, that hard drive contains the data on your camera.

Also, if your computer is REALLY old, say five years or more, you might have to upgrade your USB ports.

you camera should have come with a cd rom which will contain an edit programe, you should also have been supplied with a usb adapter, when plugged in the computer should pick up the camera. most people use nero express. IF IN DOUBT ASK THE WINDOWS FORAM LISTED BELOW

if your camera has a flash card inside, then you can get a cheap flash card reader that plugs into USB on your PC. you can then never play with software issues, but just unplug the card from the camera, plug it into the PC reader, and the PC looks at it just like it is another hard disk.
