you should never turn off the pc when the camera is still connected to it.

are you saying that the lens is stuck out. even when there ain't no batteries in it?
make sure that your putting the batteries in the right way. and after replacing the batteries will the camera turn on and off?
can you turn the camera on and off with out the memory card in it?
did you try hooking it back up to your pc? and see what happens.
if at any time you can turn it on. try resetting the setting to the camera.. how old is this camera? one thing you can try is leaving the batteries out of the camera for 24 hours. some time that helps reset it. but make sure you put new batteries in it when you do.
