I have loaded the software that came with my digital camera and conected it via usb but the computer says nothing connected to e drive.
I have also tried it via a card reader and nothing. Help!

did you switch the camera on? 'should' detect it automatically.

mind you, if you plugged in a card reader it should find it...

Assuming you are using XP or Vista or a recent Linux distro, try downloading Picasa from Goolge and using that.

With cards it is best to use a single slot car reader --- if it for an SD card then Pound Land sell them for err £1.
