I had a similar problem when I used a 1 GB SD card in my camera. I later found out that the camera wasn't guaranteed to work with anything larger than 512 MB. So I stopped using anything greater than 512 MB SD in the camera. And the 1 GB SD card has worked for over a year in my PDA just fine, being used all the time. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
