Having a ultraportable laptop and backpacking around, I am not carrying my dock with floppy and CD/DVD Drive, is there other ways of installing a viewer that reads proprietary Nikon RAW format?? I have no access to networking, I do have builtin LAN. I have no access to external CD Drive. About the most I do is a cybercafe. Been doing a bit of surfing. Does Bibble, QImage, CaptureOne allow you to view RAWs?? I don't want to edit, just to view, I'll do the hard work when I return back home.. Cheers.	nomad (3693)

Or at the least the Nikon transfer program then use something like Irfanview to access the JPEG's that are imbedded/extracted from the RAW files . Irfanview will view Canon CRW files and their associated JPEG's as thumbnails and of course will open the JPEG's so, I guess will do the same for Nikon's format once it is downloaded and the JPEG extracted by the proprietary software . To view thumbnails of a directory of images in Irfanview: Open an image file (not RAW) File menu > Thumbnails and select your preferences for viewing size, order, etc once processed . Or, have a look at something like [url=http://www . bibblelabs . com/download/]Bibble[/url} free trial . Cheers Murray P	Murray P (44)

You should be able to use a computer at a cafe with WinXP (and a CD drive) to copy the appropriate section of the CD to the camera. Then on your laptop, install the software from the "Removable Disk" (or, preferably, copy to the hard drive, and install from that --- you might have to install it again. ;-)) This will depend on the relative sizes of the software and the memory device --- but I assume you'll get a reasonable size of memory. You shouldn't need hundreds of MBs, but 8MB probably wouldn't be enough. :D	Graham L (2)
