Glad your problem is solved but here's a suggestion: (if it's redundant...my apologies)You may want to look into purchasing a separate "card reader" to use when uploading pictures to your PC. The are inexpensive..$15 to $20 US...come equipped with a cable and save wear and tear on the camera/battery. Just plug the cable into the PC, put the card in the "reader" and you're ready to go. Depending on your set-up, the reader will either appear as an icon on your tool bar or as an external device in "my computer"
