Alot of times the camera needs to be powered on for the computer to detect it.
Also alot of cameras (as above poster indicates) need to be put in a certain mode, normally its view picture mode and not a camera shooting mode.

That's a huge thing too, from what I know some USB devices need to be powered in order to be properly detect it is connected, also sometimes the device just needs the power (though for a camera this shouldn't be the case). PC motherboard manufacturer's, especially for laptops, don't power their USB ports enough. This could lead to some sporadic behavior.
Did your camera come with a powered cradle?
