Have you installed the goodies that came with the camera? If you have installed the software, your Abode Photo Suite should be able to recognize your camera. Perhaps there is a setup required in Abode Photo Suite.
After everything is set up,
Connect camera to computer.
Turn camera On
Set it to playback mode (not taking pictures mode)
Select Aquire Photo (or whatever the menu selection is called in Photo Suite)
This should connect Photo Suite to your camera, where you can then pick which picture you want off your camera to load.)
You could also, download the images from your camera to your computer (using the download software that came with the camera) and then just Load the images into Photo Suite.
If you have Windows XP, you may not need load any camera software, as I think it can access the camera without any additional drivers.
