farmer52 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 kodak hp 1gb chips fine comp app crapped out Is it a SD or Compact Flash card? Either way, I connect my card to the computer and copy the files directly to a folder on the computer. I use Windows Photo Viewer to view the files and Photo POS Pro to modify the images.

other dog Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hmmmmm...i've got an HP laptop too, i'm on it now, but I don't have the cord with me to put pictures on it. I have before and it worked all right, but I usually put my pictures on the computer at home, I plug the cord that came with the camera into a USB port to put mine on.This has the card reader hole too, or whatever you call it, but i've never used it.

41chevy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Everything I've heard and seen on Windows 8.1 is negative. It seems that Micro Soft is trying to push 8.1 users to go with Windows Cloud. Went to Google Chrome and never looked back.

farmer52 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I am not a fan of WIN8.1. It came on my newest computer. As for the cloud....bunch of horse $hit. If I want something to do with clouds I will buy an airplane. Most software is going to cloud based. Another "control" issue that I am avoiding along with electronic checking/banking and other "online" crap. I am thinking of just stuffing my money under the (secret). The computer at the farm uses WIN 7PRO and IE9 but having issues with them lately. I think MS is trying to obsolete any old versions of WIN and IE and control your computer. I am not a fan of Chrome or others but maybe it is time to switch. On a side note...if anyone remembers the anti-Christ...I think the computer is the anti-Christ.Back to the computer issue...did you get a virus? Did you try connecting your camera/card to another computer? I just plug in my card reader and copy/paste the files into a folder. Never use any "viewing" software. Perhaps you need to do a "clean wipe" of your hard drive and reload the software. Or just buy a cheap computer (what I am going to do next time). I started keeping all my files on portable hard drives and keep only the software on the computer. That way I can move from computer to computer and still have all my files.And if all else fails....did you reboot your computer? Good luck!
