Ann,

Does the second card record in the camera? Do you have a friend with a card slot on a laptop in their computer? It sounds as though the reader has caused a formatting error on the card.. If the problem is the reader, then the card can be reformatted. If you are looking for a trial horse I have a 1 GB card just gathering dust that you are welcome to if that would help

So I was talking more photos of the gear I got (of and with) and a couple of other things yesterday - put it in the card reader , put the card reader into its little USB port, as always, and nada... that little chime that goes off when I do this doesn't chime... I try three times -- then I put the card back into the camera, so wont forget, and
I get Memory card error aarrgh.

The pins look ok in the card reader which is a Vivitar series 1 72 in1 Hi speed card/reader writer.

The card is a 2 mb CF card (remember, my camera is istD) when I put it into the camera I got the Memory card error message.

The good news is, that except for the photos I took yesterday of equipment and a couple of chotskas and Ashley are already loaded onto
the computer... nothing I couldn't reshoot...

The bad news is I have no clue what to do to do to make the card reader come back to life. I put another CF card into it and still no go...
I'm thinking somewhere on my computer there is something to explore to
make it all better but can't remember anything.

anyone have any ideas?  which is to say, "help!"
