PC will not recognize my Creative ZEN MP3 or my Canon camera. Any ideas?

The following assumes you are running XP...
Unplug all USB devices (except keyboard and mouse!)
Go into device manager and remove all USB devices (they will be listed under Universal Serial Buses section)
Reboot the PC and it should recognise them as new hardware and reinstall the drivers.
Reboot the PC again (assuming windows does not do this after the last reboot) then try connecting your USB devices again.
You may need to reinstall the USB drivers that came with the USB devices - you did install these first BEFORE connecting your USB devices for the first time.

Stupid question. Device manager accessed through Control Panel?

Try uninstalling any software related to the USB devices, reboot then follow the install process to the letter for each USB device. Often you first install the software then connect the USB device. Doing it the other way can result in the drivers or device not working properly.
Also what Windows version & service pack are you running?

Windows Updates should all be there.
Interesting comment about the software.
On the Canon, all software is installed and when we plug camera in, get a No Camera message. Can uninstall and reinstall again,
On the Zen, I have just downloaded the Software and was starting the install process when I get a message to plug in MP3. When plugged in it is not recognised.

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.
