No, sorry. I've posted that so many times I didn't notice I left that out! I didn't want to do into too much detail on the cam since it's may be OT, but the reader drivers problem isn't. When the card is placed in the 'cam:
"and there is a long beep, then the menu for 'card setup' shows, and it's asking to format (or shutoff). I went to format it in the 'cam, and it's saying 'error'. I put it back in the reader, did the error checking (scandisk) on it, no problems. I can place things on it when it's on the PC and the card reader. I even tried formatting it on the PC and still get the same error in the camera. It just shows the outline of the SM card and ! mark on it, and 'error'. The OM XD card still works fine." -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Can you format it in the camera. There may be overhead that the Olympus puts on that a generic formatting program doesn't. If this doesn't work then I think that you might investigate any warrenties otherwise, you have a door shim.
