And this disk is? Software? Images already created on a disk? An unintentional misspeak instead meaning memory card? Please a little bit more information would help.

Clair I can only imagine that you have used the wrong slot and the card has gone inside the casing. Try using your sister's eye tweezers to remove it if that is the case and it is not too far inside. If that is not it then give us a fuller explanation please.

How long ago was the previous repair? Canon should guarantee their repair for at least 90 days. Most mfgrs do. If the repair is not under warranty anymore you need to weigh the cost of the new repair versus the cost of camera replacement. Included in that equation you should consider the time it takes to have the repair done, the inconvenience of not having your camera, and the age of the camera.

We have a Nikon D40X, which has been discontinued in favor of the D60. You know you can't beat a DSLR. Not only is the picture quality amazing at the fastest iso settings, there is absolutely no delay when you take a picture. As a matter of fact, if sports are important to you, 3 frames a second in continuous mode is what you'll want. It delivers. It's also nice to be able to change lenses. I look at it as upgradeable. There is a drawback, size. Because of the size and weight of the camera we actually just bought a compact to supplement. We use the compact for everyday type events and the Nikon for the bigger ones (as long as I'm the one carrying it around). Okay, why'd I tell you all that when your looking for a compact? Because our compact is an Olympus Stylus 1010 and the picture quality rivals the Nikon. Both are 10 megapixel cameras (actually the Olympus is 10.1). Of course we can do much more with the Nikon but the Olympus is much more convenient when traveling or just taking everyday shots. The Olympus cost us $400 with extended warranty, 2x 2gig xD memory chips, and bag. You can get a Nikon D60 for about $650 is you look hard enough. And D40X for a little less than that. Either one is under 4 digits. If you haven't already, take a look at the Olympus. Klaa2

I was reading that this is a common problem with this camera but have yet to find a solution. How many shots can you make with a re-charge? How many more shots with the low battery indicator on? It seems this camera will drain batteries when left in camera for only a couple of days. You could have bad battery contact terminals, sometime by just cleaning them will help. Some have bent out the contacts with a small screwdriver and this also helped. I was reading something about re-setting your camera with new batteries, think it was like this...take batteries out and push power button for at about 30 seconds. I would try this first. Konrad

Ok now. Is it not auto playing or is it a case of opening up, but won't install?

Let's deal with not auto playing. Load the disk in the drive. Now in the system's Computer entry, formally called My Computer, look for the listing corresponding to the disk drive. Right click on it. Select Open on the appearing drop down menu. Results?

Also if the current system is W7, have you checked the manufacturer's website to see if the software is compatible? Particularly so if it is a 64-bit system.

I haven't installed the camera software on my last 3 computers. I just put the card in the slot on the computer and click on my computer and open the drive it is on. Then I copy and post the folder to my desktop or just click and drag it over.

I always suggest not using any of the extra software that comes with cameras it is rarely needed and just adds more clutter and takes up space on the hard drive.

It is so easy to just use the memory card and the memory card slot on the pc or if it does not have a memeory card slot pick up a usb memory card reader they are very cheap. Then just move the pics from the card right to the folder of your choice on the pc.

My guess is that the software is not compatible with windows 7 64 bit if that is what the new pc is.
