Are you connecting thru a USB hub?

U seem to be connected to a USB hub.

try connecting it to the USB port on the back of your PC.

hope this helps

wad is the different between USB port and USB hub?
if i buy a cf card reader, will it help?

 

[user111]

hub may or may not provide enough power to the external device

its safer to transfer pictures via card reader than direct through camera body

Get a card reader its faster and safer.
If the computer get shorted while your camera is connected to it then..... u got dead camera plus dead computer :bigeyes:

The problem as some had said is due to your hub not able draw supply enough power for your camera to a stable connections. If your hub has options to connect to an external power adapter, this will solve your problem. If yours doesnt, you will have to plug direct into a unshared usb port.
