Cute doggie Lynn - did you use photorescue or did you just read the card with a card reader?
I used the card reader on my husband's XP (mine kept kicking it out) then put the images on a disc and reloaded them on mine.. bit long winded but my computer is throwing errors all over the place for some reason.
Glad to hear you got it nailed (and ignored Pathfinder's pathetic suggestions). :lol

The wasteland is a happier place knowing you got your pics lynn.
Thanks all for help and support... my next move is to uninstall everything from my 2000 and give it a little scan and dusting and then try to reinstall the card reader and Canon stuff. I'ts like the error in the camera has caused an error in the computer. If I turn my camera off the computer goes off! most weird, nasty things computers... I could learn to hate them.
I've never formattee a cf card... format my hard drive but not the card... hope it's easy and painless.
Sid? I like your crop...:) I should have stuck with the original idea of photographing the door only... got greedy and wanted THE WHOLE BARN in there...
Try looking through the Event Viewer. See if there's some obvious message
(I forget, it's windows so there'll be a message but it won't be useful ).
Another thing you might do, if you feel comfortable is remove the camera
device using the device manager. Reboot and then re-connect the camera
letting plug and play find the device again. If that doesn't work, it may be
necessary to remove the USB device as well.
Dell usually installs all of the OS in a folder on disk so finding the drivers
should not be a problem. Otherwise, if you have the OS disks, you should
keep them handy for the re-install of the hardware.
Good luck!

I just wait til they blow & then buy a new HD for $50....best clean up you can do.
So there are several good suggestions here. But before I make any more recommendations, could you please let us know the details of your system? We know it runs win2K, but what's the processor? How much ram? How big a disk?
If it's a reasonably well configured box, then I'd recommend you backup your datafiles, upgrade to a fresh copy of XP home w/ service pack 1, and start over. Far fewer bluescreens in XP, and it's USB friendly.
Your Canon will format the card via the menu: Format > Okay. Note: this WILL delete all of your images from the card. So make sure you save them somewhere else first.

Thats a good suggestion actually... I've messed with my computer so much, new hard drive, etc I've forgotton what half is in it... I'll check. I think I have enought ram and memory to run the pentagon.. thinking about that it probably doesn't take much to run the pentagon... I like hubby's xp.. and as you say very usb friendly. I'll get back to you on this one. Thanks.:D

so... anyone got any bright ideas on how to fix my computer problems??:baldy
I'm also going to guess you are using the USB port to download your
camera?
Knowing you have W2K installed, do you also have service pack 3
installed? If not, start there. You can go to:
www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp3/default.asp
to download the service pack.
