A simple solution would be to use a memory card reader.

Hi clairandamjones,
Thanks for using the Vista Answers Forum.
What brand of camera is this?
Does the device show up in the device manager?
You can open the Device Manager window by clicking Start and typing "device manager".
Click on the entry that appear in the top.
I suggest performing a clean boot to see if startup programs are causing a conflict with your hardware.
Here's how:
