[QUOTE="Greywoulf, post: 7687, member: 636"] Yep, it sure did help; you were absolutely correct....! I found I had another multi-card reader in my electronics 'junk drawer' (another cheap Chinese one called an "Ohm"), and this automatically starts up Elements 6.0 when I insert the 4GB card and reads it in perfectly.!!. AFA the debate goes, I too would rather use a card reader than my much loved D40 as input to the PC! -Because I feel that whenever you have to constantly plug-unplug something as delicate as USB slots/plugs, there's a stronger possibility that something might bend or break. So I keep my card reader permanently plugged into a PC USB slot with a long cable, and it sits readily available and next to my keyboard alla time. -My thinking here has nothing to do with battery use (I always have a fully charged spare anyway); it's just that should there be a problem I'd rather lose the card (and even some much wanted photos) than have any problem with my D40... :( Hey, Nikon's not making my baby anymore; I have to take care of her!! ;) [/QUOTE]
