D3000 18-55 VR Kit

Is D3000 compatible with windows 7 /PSE 10?:upset:

I use LiveView from Nikon, and my windows 7 have had no issues recognizing any of my Nikon SLRs from D80 to D800. Are you using LiveView? or is your computer not recognizing the camera as a device when you plug in the USB key, if so, you might have a defective USB port.

if you take out the flash, and plug into a flash card, are your images read?

Yes it is - at the very least it will be picked up as an external media source
