Picasa 2
Picasa is freeware that helps you instantly find, edit and share all
the pictures on your PC. Whenever you open Picasa, it automatically
locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts
them
into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will
recognize. You can easily drag and drop to arrange your albums and
make
labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are
always
well organized. Picasa also makes advanced editing very simple by
putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And
Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures. You can email, print
photos at home, make gift CDs or instantly share via Hello. At least,
you can even post pictures on your own blog.

Turn the power on the camera on. There will be a screen that pops up which will notify you that you have connected it to the PC. Just click the top right corner to cancel it.
To find your pictures, click on START (lower left)--MY COMPUTER. A window will ope with all your drive letters and one specifiying your camera. Double-click on the camera, then on one of the folders you see there. You might have to search the folders to find your pictures.
Now, you need your CD. Insert your CD into the CD Drive A screen will pop up. Click on OPEN FOLDER TO VIEW FILES.
Now, highlight all the pictures that you want from the camera (by clicking and dragging over them), or click once on any ONE of the pictures and drag it to the CD folder (they will all go over at once if you drag through them all). Wait while the pictures copy from one folder (the camera's) to the other (the CD's).
When all the pictures are copied, click on the CD folder and choose WRITE THESE FILES TO CD?. The computer might ask you if you want to re-name the CD (If you don't --just click OK), and then it will burn the pictures onto the CD. The CD will eject when it is done. Double click on your "My Computer" located on your desktop, or navigate there from your start menu. You'll see, under your removable storage section, a new drive. That should be your camera. Open the folder, there may be one or two more folders in there, and find the pictures you want to send. Press CTRL and click, or you can also drag the mouse and highlight the pictures you want to send, and then right click on one of the highlighted pictures. Go to the "Send To>" and in the submenu there click on your CD-RW/DVD-RW drive. In some cases a bubble will pop up and tell you you have files waiting to be written, click it, and in the tasks on the left side of that window, click on "Write these files to CD". A prompt will come up giving you instructions for what to do next, and it'll burn your CD. Simple, right? download your photo's via camera connected to your pc, once all photo's are in your library.
go to movie maker in your programs and make a movie with sounds from your music library once your happy with your selection and preview burn onto cd good luck It depends on how new your computer is.
If it has a floppy-disc drive and a cd-type drive, then the cd-type is more likely to be a CD-ROM reader (will not 'write' data).
Later machines, mostly without a floppy drive, use a cd/dvd writer/reader. However, that doesn't mean you'll have the software to 'burn' pictures onto one.
Most digital cameras come with software that allows you to choose your storage method (cd counts as storage these days). If you don't have a photo-storage program already installed, the camera software should contain a program that will do this instead.
Sometimes, the easiest way to store pictures on a disc is to put them all in a folder in your machine's hard drive (give it a name that will make sense to the folk you're sending the disc to, such as 'pictures from birmingham trip', or whatever) and transferring the whole file to the disc. This avoids complications that can sometimes occur if the image types are different.
You can 'drag & drop' the whole thing from one drive to the other, if you have both drives open on your screen.
The most common picture file type is a 'j-peg' (it's 'file extension' says '.jpg' at the end of the title (usually a number) that your camera gave it). This type will cause fewer problems with software, because almost all programs recognise the type.
If your own machine won't do it, or the software is making it complicated, you can take the storage card from the camera into a photo-developing shop. They now have machines that your card plugs into, which will put the pictures on a disc in one simple operation. You need tp pay for this, but a lot less than it costs to get prints. (if you're getting prints, you may be offered a set on disc as well; if not, it's worth asking if this option is available. THIS IS THE SIMPLEST WAY....
