Unable to read memory card

[stevembe]

Firstly thanks for taking the time and reading this post. The problem is I have a Samsung Digimax V800 and when I take pictures to the camera memory I connect to the computer and can view the pictures no problem. However, I have bought a 1GB memory card and when I take pictures that are saved to it the pc cannot read them. I do not get any error messages but when I open windows explorer I click on removeable drive and try to view the pics it is just blank showing no directories or sub directories. I have checked and the card is definitely not locked. Grateful for any help, thank you

SteveYou could try either formatting the card in the camera, and/or formatting (erasing) the card from your computer. Are you trying to read the card through the camera itself, or through a separate reader? This could make a difference also. If all else fails, take the card to a Walgreen's and see if the images show up on THEIR machine.
After doing all of the above, please report back with your results and observations.
