Okay, first of all, you need to know what kind of connection your camera supports. If it is a USB, than connect the one side into the camera, the other side into the computer's tower. Even if it is not a USB, connect the component into wherever the end going into the computer will fit. If it fits, congratulations, you have found the right port. Next thing, once you have it connected: You need to havesome sort of program to be able to download your pictures onto. I'm assuming you don't have a like program for your pictures? Well, if you don't, here is my suggestion: Go to Best Buy. Bring your camera. Ask for help. They'll be able to help more than any of us, since they will be able to see the camera and exactly what you are working with. 🙂
