The USB cables that came with my my Lumix DMC-TZ3 do not fit into the camera ports. I even ordered a new cable from Panasonic and that one wont fit either..

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.
Another way to download your photos. Remove the memory card from the camera and insert the memory card into an USB memory card reader. Connect the card reader into the USB port on your computer. The computer will see the memory card as an external storage device, you can open the folders and files and copy them to your computer.

Anything you try has to be compatible with Windows XP. Whenever Microsoft come out with a new operating system (example Win 10) they suspend support for an older OS. (example Win XP, and Vista) This lets all manufacturers know that their new products and accessories no longer have to be compatible with the older OS, but need to be compatible with the new one. Therefore, your card reader has to be XP compatible as well. Hope this helped.
Turn off CPU, Unplug Power cable, And all usb devices, let it sit for
about 20mins. Plug it all back in. Turn on the CPU! Also make sure if
your device requires "DRIVERS" or if you have a CD download and install
that before anything.
Please reinstall your camera drivers.Uninstall it first from the control panel add/remove programs and then with the disc provided to you install the drivers.
Not much to add here, except I'd try another usb cable, a different usb port and a different pc if possible.. I've had a number of camera's to connect to pc's, all running xp & never had a problem. Also disconnect all other usb devices when testing. Also connect the camera to the pc, before turning on the camera. Good luck.
Like mem card problems. Try another in the camera, try reading card on a computer via a usb port card reader. Try reformating card using camera FORMAT function.
