I've experienced similar problems myself.
One workaround is to open My Computer on the desktop.
Locate the camera drive under drives and removable storage (i.e. F removable). Open and copy and paste to any location that your desire.
Hope this helps.
I plugged my Sony Cyber-shot camera into my PC and it will not load. On the task bar the icon says safetly remove hardware. I checked everything and it seem to be working fine. So I turn PC off and restarted the PC and that didn't work. Now what else can I do. My PC is windowsXP. The camera use to load as soon as I plugged it in. Thank You
