I'll do my best- My computer is a HP pavilion xt926, it's
about 3 years old, and yes it has a USB port. (The kind
right on the front of the tower) I upgraded from ME(It's
what came with the PC)
In regards to the CD, the drive is working because I have
no other problems with other CD's. I have one CD that I
copy pictures from my camera on to it. I hate having
them on the computer in case it crashes. I copy them by
taking them from the camera, right clicking on the print
(icon) I want to transfer, and use the SEND TO option,
and I send it to the CD. Now it seems like the computer
is reading the CD, but none of my pics are showing up on
it. Not sure what the files are that are on the camera
now, they are coming up as a DCP.... file. (Digital
Camera Picture file maybe??? )
 I hope this is enough info, if you need anything else
please let me know. Thanks again for your help! ALso if
I need one of the USB picture adapters, approx how much
are they and would it just be better to go buy a new
camera! Thanks
