Thank you, Don. You were trying so hard to be
helpful but I fear you are far off the mark.
MY COMPUTER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT A DIGITAL
CAMERA HAS BEEN CONNECTED. My wife's computer is
almost completely identical to mine but does not
have this problem. This is true of every digital
camera which I have attempted to connect over the
past six years. So your suggestions about using
Windows Explorer or what to do "after you
download files" don't have a lot of applicability
as I never get close to that point.
The problem seems beyond ken or correction, so
the workaround is either to use only SD Type 1
cards (we already have an SD1 card reader) or to
get a Type 2 card reader. These are more
expensive than the ones for SD Type 1 but not as
much so as had seemed to be the case yesterday.
Thanks again!
