If you format the SD card all of your pictures will be erased. If you can view your photos in the Camera then the problem may be with your computer.

How can you charge your canon powershot SD790 IS on your computer?
Honestly, you cannot charge your canon powershot with a computer. Last week I lost my charger for my powershot and it's no where to be found. I tried, and tried all week to charge it on my computer. I also looked all over the web. It's no use. But I found a solution, if you go on ebay there is a 2.00 powershot charger with 3.00 shipping, so only 5.00! I'ts not used either so yeah. That's my solution to yours and my problem. Thanks for your time!
