whoever gives me SOME KIND of advice, you will get the 10 points, pretty simple if you ask me!

Answer 1

I assume your camera icon is the computers way of showing you the "USB drive" (all USB connected memory looks like a drive to the computer).

When you click on the icon it should open the "drive" up in a windows explorer window. If it doesn't, then you have an intervening program which I have no clue about.

Alternately, open windows explorer and find the drive and click on it. It would be drive E: if you have only one hard drive and one CD/DVD drive.

Click on that and drill down thru the folders till you find picture files. You can view them from there or drag and drop them to your hard drive so you can erase them from your camera.

You can easily open windows explorer by right clicking the start button and click on "Explore".

good luck

Answer 2

Are you clicking on the removable drive in My Computer? You may have a camera icon but it doesn't point to your camera. Click on any removable drives that are in My Computer.
