All of the online help keeps telling me that my computer should automatically recognize my camera through the usb port, but it doesn’t. I’ve gone to the canon website and downloaded the driver and installed it, but it still doesn’t work! I need to get my pictures! can anyone please help me?

I assume you are working on Win XP. Start the Cannon software that came alongwith the camera (hope u have installed it beforehand), connect the camera through the USB port, keep the camera in Play mode, switch it on. Windows will now detect a usb device and then will show the name of the camera, click on that balloon and select which pictures you want to import (even if you have not installed the cannon software this should work since xp now comes with the required device manager).
once you downloaded the driver and installed it, did you received a desktop or a shortcut icon? nothing when you click on the actual program? make sure it’s in your program files. I would start there.
get a multi-type card reader. its a stress to your camera when it transfers the photos to the pc
