Can you give us more details? have you hooked up the card to your PC with a USB memory card reader or are you having driver issues? Or is it just a corrupted card?

If your card is bad, you can use a utility like "F-Recovery" to get back your pictures and recover your card.

But allow me to make an pitch for using several cards, rather than one large one. Reason being, insurance. Any memory card can fail or become corrupted. And when you're on vacation the last thing you want is to lose the opportunity to take pictures until you can recover that media card with a software utility like the one above.

No need to lose the moment because you relied on one card one when several can solve that problem. At the very least, you want to get more than one of whatever size you settle on.

Lastly, go to Canon's website and look for firmware/driver updates. Download and install them.

It should NOT be a problem with this card. Did you hook your camera up to the PC via USB? Did you take the memory card out of the camera and put it directly into the SD slot on your PC? Did you take the memory card out of your camera and place it in a card reader which then connects to the PC via USB? We might be able to help better if we know which method you are using.

It shouldn't, I agree, Larry. But failures can and do happen. Cards go get corrupted. But it's rare if they're new. I am more inclined to believe that Denise is having either a driver issue or perhaps her USB port has been shut off to conserve energy (a new feature of Vista).

Either way, we need more information.
