The latest version (available on the Canon Web site) is 2.14.10a. Make sure you have that.

Also, I think several people have claimed that you can't establish a USB connection with wi-fi enabled.

Yes, i am using 2.14.10b even and it still wont get past the pairing

It means the computer is not finding, or seeing, the camera.  You need to figure out why.  IMHO, the wi-fi is poor at best but you need to follow the manual exactly.

As soon as I turned off wifi, USB connection activated....

blake40,

There were some changes made in the update to Windows 8.1 that affected the Wi-Fi functionality that needs to be reset so ad-hoc connections will be possible again.  This can be done in the command line interface in Windows using the "netsh" command.  We are unable to directly make these changes to the Windows OS for you, but this is something Microsoft can help you with.  I recommend that you contact them directly for further assistance.
