I've downloaded my holiday pics from my camera to my PC.

How can I get them from the PC (new one with Vista) to watch on the plasma (Pioneer).

Their must be a way?

    Using a DVI or VGA connector on the TV. You'll need to buy a lead or use the one from your monitor if you're lucky enough to have a matching socket and a lead you can unplug from the monitor end.

    The TV may even have a memory card reader (some do), which'll be less hassle to be honest and less money to spend.

    Even better, copy the ones you want to show onto your memory card, and your camera should have come with some leads to plug into a TV through composite video (marked yellow), or if you have the kit, burn to a DVD and pop that in your DVD player. Of course, the DVD will need a bit of careful attention, because using the wrong format would be an easy way to a backup, but a waste of a good DVD.

    If I hadn't deleted them off the memory card, they are now in the PC:o :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

    Nothing to stop you putting them back on the memory card (assuming your TV does have a card reader). ;)

    The PC does, I think.
