Try 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). 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 management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

As to why your USB connection isn't working, there are a lot of possibilities. You may not have the right driver. If you're going through a USB hub, you might try bypassing it and connecting directly. There could be something wrong with the cable. There could be something wrong with the computer's USB port. There could be something wrong with the camera's USB port.
The main reason camera manufacturers include a USB port on their cameras is not so you can use it to transfer photos. They put it there because other manufacturers put one on, and so the marketing department insists they do so as well.

I have a Canon PowerShot A720 and have lost the disk to download drivers so I can get the photos off of my camera. Do you have any suggestions. I have tried to find them on the internet with no success. Help Please!!

If you do not have the software, you need to download the software from one of the following locations:

Official Canon Drivers and Software

Canon USA:DRIVER & DOWNLOADS

After downloading is finished, unplug the USB and run the software that you downloaded.
The software installer will tell you when to connect USB.
