Having gone over a month without a response to my query, I assume the suggested use of a card reader solved the problem.

There is a dead short somewhere within the battery holder, replaceing the battery will not fix it It will require intervention by a technician to uncover and fis the short circuit or bare wire. Check out the minimum repair cost and compare it to replacing with a newer model. It may well be throw away.

Have you considered NOT connecting your camera to your computer?
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive.
