yes its cmes up as removable disk and when i click on it it shows what i have downloaded from the sony site originally which is the same as the links posted above.

sorry im not computer savvy at the best of times,

with my old laptop i ran the disc then everytime i plugged in camera it just came up with a little box asking if i wanted to downlaod pics or view.

when i plug it into this laptop a large page come with pmb portable and says cannot share filemark1.

am just popping over to mums to use her computer now to do it as it works on hers.

Don't buy memory in offline in a shop. You get ripped off something rotten.

I just bought a 16GB SDHC card suitable for camera use for £10 delivered from amazon perfered seller *indigo starfish* Where the cheapest I could find offline was 4GB for £9.

It makes life so much easier to use memory cards, because you'd just need to pull it out, and shove it in a card reader (portable or inbuilt into laptop) OR just throw in a USB lead and have it show as a drive.

16GB should be more than enough, especially as you should be removing your pictures each time you use the camera, and storing them elsewhere in 2 different places. (think about it, what happens if you break/lose the camera?) If you break the camera, chances are the card survives, internal memory might not, and even if it does might be costly to recover from through a company etc.If you lose the camera, you're screwed either way sadly, but at least by regular downloading of images your loss is at a minimum.

Most times when you plug in the USB lead Windows itself will ask to upload the media regardless of source, as it just sees the attached item as storage. You only get problems with photos shot in RAW format. :think:

This should be easy enough -just don't lose your photos!

Have you tried Flickr http://www.flickr.com/ or Picasa http://picasa.google.co.uk/ and seeing if their online software can retreive the images directly from the camera?

You've not posted enough information either about your setup.

If you get really stuck try ASDA or another photo shop who'll put all the images on a compact disc for you. You might have to order some first.

I'm not really sure why it's such a big job!
