Windows 8.1 can't find my camera.
Just bought a new computer. Windows with 8.1. Have Photoshop Elements 12. Can't get my Canon EOS 20D to upload pictures. Any Ideas? Hopeing it's some easy fix.

I have 8.1 on my desktop and it didn't recognize my Samsung Galaxy cell phone when I wanted to download the pictures. What I did was use the File Explorer, or what use to be called Windows Explorer. However, once I did that 8.1 now finds my cell phone when connecting.
When I connected my Nikon D60, Windows 8.1 recognizes it in the File Explorer and is identified as a camera with D60 shown. When I click on the camera, I get a "removable storage" icon, just like a memory card. Since there was nothing on the card, I didn't persue this test any further. In the past, I have taken the card out of the camera and copied it. That choice has always worked just fine.
What I'm getting at is Windows 8.1 seems to be working just fine now. I updated to 8.1 from 8.0 about a month ago. My first attempt a year or two ago was a disaster. Apparently, Microsoft has fixed most of the problems with 8.1.
