You're doing it the hard way!
It's never a good idea to connect a camera to a computer nor, indeed, to use the downloading software that's sometimes provided with digital cameras. You tend to end up with a very slow, and rather unreliable, method of transferring image files.
It's always far better to remove the memory card from the camera and to insert it into the computer's card reader. Then you can simply move image files in exactly the same way that you would with document files or anything else.
A quick bit of googling shows that your camera uses the (now rare) xD type of memory card but most card readers should be able to handle it without any problems. If your computer hasn't got a built-in card reader, a USB one shouldn't break the bank!
