TSGL: Digital Camera

[Al]

Dave,
I wish it were that easy,  I am able to transfer pictures to my laptop and 
my son's computer.  I also have the same problem with my SanDisk Thumb 
Drive, I can't transfer anything on it to my computer either, but I can to 
other computers.  I don't understand how updating to XP could do this.

Al
