cellioI am new to the ways of USB devices, though I still think it's a documentation failure.
It turns out that when installing the driver, the camera has to be connected and turned on. Never mind that the driver is on a CD and -- in one go-round -- I explicitly navigated to the correct file on that CD. If the camera isn't there, Windows apparently just blows you off and lies about installing the driver.
So I can now download pictures (yay!). It appears that I'm not very good at taking pictures of myself, though, so updated userpics will, for the most part, have to wait a bit. (Arm's length is too close for the flash. Tomorrow perhaps I'll figure out how to use the timer, or go outside if it's sunny.)
