Cannot detect camera

I have a Canon PowerShot A540 and have never had a problem downloading pictures. I recently bought a new computer desk so everything was unplugged and plugged back in. Since then I receive the message, Cannot detect camera. Check connection to camera, then retry.

I have plugged and unplugged the cord that connects the computer to the camera several times and I still receive this message.

Please help.

    I have a Canon Powershot A530 and I have never had any problems loading pictures onto my laptop. Now for some reason it does not even detect that I have the camera connected to my pc. It dings when i connect it and that is it. The menu used to pop up as soon as I plugged it in. I dont know what to do. Someone please help.

    I've had powershot A520 for 3 years and now the pc can't detect the camera. I've plugged and unpluged several times to no avail. I have webroot firewall installed. Does that matter?
