Advantages: camera itself works well, flash, timer

Disadvantages: near impossible to upload pictures

I recently bought this camera. I was looking for a cheap digital camera, and saw this one and decided it was quite good for the price, especially as it was on special offer in the shop.
I have found the way the LCD screen works is excellent. It has flash and timer options, and pictures taken look very clear.
One "slight" problem though. The software to put pictures onto the PC appears to work ok on its own. But it takes about 50 attempts to get the photos from the camera onto the PC - if at all. You click "accquire", it starts to do something. Then nothing. It just stops. "program not responding".
Well maybe I'm doing something wrong? But if so surely there should be information on this in the booklet, cause if so I can't be the only one!
I haven't got hours to spend trying to upload pictures, so I definitely won't be using the camera for anything special, if at all.
