Absolutely identical situation with my Canon Powershot G5.
Incidentally, Dilwyn, you should be able to plug in the camera's storage
card into, say, a 6x1 reader and copy the photos from there.
My Canon's PCMCIA card is added automatically as a drive under XP. This
should be the same for any standard card, needing no added drivers.
Multi input cards readers are very cheap, if your PC/laptop doesn't come
with any.
