I'm sure the card reader is fine. It's the card, not the reader. Now one thing to try is place the card in the reader and try to play the files from the card on your computer. If they play then the media player software on the Maestro doesn't support the bit rate or file type without extra codecs or something. If they don't play then the files didn't transfer properly and the card will have to be reformatted. Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kimberly A.

Hopefully, best case scenario, it's the card. = Kimberly -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Reginald George Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 11:35 AM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Re: Maestro PDA question Hi Kimberly, Bad news.
