690395 2008-07-21 04:18:00 What do you mean by "bombed"? Does Windows refuse to recognise the card in a card reader device or are you connecting to the PC directly from the camera? Can the camera still recognise the card and display the images?Yes, the camera recognises the card and displays the pictures. Pato (2463)
690396 2008-07-21 04:22:00 I thought I had. The camera recognises the Kingston card ok. The card reader loads from another flash card so the card reader is ok but won't load the pictures into Picasa2.

If the camera recognises the card but the reader doesn't, try another reader or download the pictures from the camera. Just because the reader works on some other cards doesn't mean that it is OK. Some reader manufacturers interpret the various card specifications differently.

Sounds to me more like a card reader issue, rather than the card itself. Internal card readers are known for having niggly little issues, which a reboot of the PC normally fixes.

Can't explain another card working, but I have seen that myself, with my card reader. USB card readers are so much more reliable, but unfortunately they aren't as tidy. :dogeye:
I'd try formatting the cards (obviously copy any data off them first) and give it another chance. unless you want new memory cards.

690398 2008-07-21 05:48:00 one thing u can try instead of using a card reader is to download the pics to pc using a usb cable if you have one. if that doesnt work then the card is probly stuffed. smokey (13809)

www.flashcards.co.nzI am using an external USB reader and I think you may be correct about trying a new reader. Thanks.
