You can just plug in the camera with a usb mini to usb connector and windows will offer to transfer the files for you using windows 7 automatic scanner and camera wizard -- you don't need a special driver.
If that doesn't work for your camera, then use the Import Pictures Wizard (Live Photo Gallery):
Launch Windows Live Photo Gallery, which you can get HERE for free.
Then, just follow the directions HERE.
RealBeast,
That does NOT WORK for my Cybershot DSC-S500, and Photo Gallery does not either.
I have Windows Live Photo Gallery, but it will not recognize that my Cybershot has any photos in it when connected....
I always comes back with, "No photos or videos found on device"
I for one, am truly fed up with Microsoft being incompatible with almost anything that you didn't buy from them!!
