My computer no longer recognizes my Casio Exilim Camera

No. The EX-Z60 does not charge the battery through the USB port. You need to use the supplied charger. Alternatively, if you have the EX-Z60DX cradle, you can plug the camera into the cradle and plug the cradle into a wall outlet. However, using the cradle will not let you charge the camera through the USB port either.

No. You need to plug the camera into the cradle and plug the cradle into a wall outlet. Connecting the camera to the computer merely drains the battery faster, as the camera has to spend juice communicating (or trying to communicate) with the computer, even if only to say it has nothing to say.

there something wrong with the plug in the computer not the instrument try to connect to another computer you will see

Hi,
As computer recognizes the camera but there is no pictures in the camera , To resolve it, visit this link and download both the software mentioned in Window XP section.
Good Luck...don't forget to rate the solution.

I would guess that the battery is not being charged. The problem could be poor connections between the charger & Camera or between camera and battery; or the battery no longer will take a charge.
First, clean the connections with the eraser end of a pencil. Clean the connections on the Charger and on the camer; clean the battery connections and in the camera, Charge overnight. If this does not get the camera working, borrow a battery and see if this works.

You don't need any software for the computer. Yes you can get a manual for this camera on the web, but here is how to do it anyway. Do you have the usb cradle that came with the camera? If not, you need to purchase one. If you do, plug the ac adapter to the dc in jack on the cradle, then plug the other end to an outlet. Plug in the usb cable to the cradle, then to the computer. You don't need install anything.  Click on my computer and you should see it listed as a removable drive. Double click on it, and double click on the dcim folder. The pictures should be there.

Juat wondering if you have a casio exilim ex-s2 that you would want to sell for parts? Or if you know anyone that has one?

You have two options for downloading pictures.

1. Use a SD card reader, fast download.
2. Use the camera and the USB Cradle (Page 180-187 of your owner's manual) There are many more steps than can be described here. The overview is:
1. Plug power to the cradle
2. Connect the cradle to the computer using the USB cord
3. Mount the camera in the cradle
4. View and copy the images from the camera using your favorite software. Perhaps Picasa2 from Google.
   

The battery model is NP-20 and the charger for this is "the special BC-10L Battery Charger" and can be purchased here, or the casio model from here.
