Windows 2003 & Digital Camera
The camera is Canon PowerShot A520. It shows up in device manager list but doesnt show up in my computer and I cant download my images. I have installed some drivers provided with the CD but it is said that they are for win2K/98 not win2003.

Hi! A little late but anyway....
The problem of Windows 2003 server is that the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is not installed and it's normal that you won't get anywere. There are two solutions (well maybe three if you count downgrading to XP) :
1. Download the apropriate Twain driver from the Canon Download Center e.g. : http://software.canon-europe.com/Cameras/Digital_Cameras/PowerShot_A52010167.asp
Ofcourse this driver will facilitate JPEG transfer only. That means that you're RAW images and movies will be left out. But hey, it's good anyway that you can transfer your pictures into your computer .
2. This is more adequate. You can install the Windows 2003 -XP conversion pack that, amongst other useful things does the WIA instalation. That way you can download all your data from the camera. You can download this from TCMAG : http://www.tcmagazine.info/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=204
Good luck!
