I have a Canon Digital Ixus 990IS. The PC (running Windows XP SP2) sees the camera fine. I can copy images and movies.
However a large movie (900mb) fails with no message. This MS KB article describes the problem in detail. I face "Symptom #2" (as they call it).
The proposed solution is:
You can connect the camera by using
USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) instead
of PTP. Then, transfer large files by
using Windows Explorer.
How do I do this? Any other workarounds?

I believe the Canon Ixus 990IS defaults to PTP mode (At least my Ixus 970IS seems to). There doesn't appear to be a way to change this either.
It may be worth using a card reader to transfer the files, if you have access to one.
