I have an old Canon SD1000 Power Shot (Digital Elph) camera that I really love, and have used much. Now I am having a unique problem with its USB connection to my W7 PC. I use that to upload its pics to my PC, but now every time I plug it up, it immediately shuts the camera down (off) and sometimes the PC too (which could corrupt the PC OS I'm thinking). The same cord is used with an adapter to charge the camera, and that seems to work fine. This has started out of the blue, and seems to do this every time.
I can still upload pics from the camera by removing its SD card and mounting same in the PC.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem with PC USB connection from a device like my camera? I sure haven't. Yes, I have tried other USB ports on my PC.
Thanks
