Rose:

Even though the Removable Disc window comes up, we really need to know
what the message is in the Book Port Transfer window.  Close the
Removable Disc window and if the transfer is not open, then open it from
your desktop.  Once inside there, you can do alt plus f to see if the
Book Port shows as being connected.  Please pay close attention to that
error message, as it will tell us what needs to be done.  For instance,
if it says, "USB Device not recognized," then it could either be the
batteries, or the USB cable.  However, if it says, "Book Port Not
Connected," then it could be either a card problem, or a drive letter
conflict.  You may need to try reformatting your Compact Flash Card. 
Generally, an update won't affect this, so I don't think reinstalling
will help you here.  However, try reformatting or try another card.  If
it still doesn't work, then we'll go from there.  Also, remember to have
all scanners and other USB devices disconnected.

When I plug in the USB cable to the bookport now it shows me the drive
on
the bookport but it is not opening the transfer software, this started
after
I plugged it in last week and was told there was an upgrade--I have
not
plugged into the computer for a while.  Any suggestions.  My thought is
to
reinstall software and try again, but.  

Second question, what keys to I press to save the info before I change
batteries, last time I forgot and had to reset the clock and date again
and
what a pain that is.
