Fixed Memory Card Error - might work for you...

( - 9/19/05)

Got the Memory Card error, promptly at 18 months. Rather than trying to convince Canon to take its thumb out of its ass, I tried the following, after reading a review on Amazon.com:

- Removed the CF card
- Held down 'Menu' key until I could reset to factory default settings
- Popped in card
- Formatted it
- Restarted camera.

It worked.

Now, I'm assuming my CF wasn't jacked after all, but it might be worth a shot for you. Luckily, I had downloaded all images. I have a 256k Scandisk.

Hope this helps.
