Thanks, but I do have File Exchange installed on the Laptop.  But, perhaps
it is not working correctly.

The laptop HANGS when I try to format it for DOS, and as I said when I put
the camera formatted card into the laptop.

I do install the card into the adaptor and then both into the PC slot.

Try again.
