This does sound more likely .. though I suppose there might be a way for
someone to create a virus that would "move against the flow", usually, you're
transferring from the camera TO the computer and it doesn't seem logical that
a virus could move from the computer to the card or camera during that type
of transfer. Though I guess it could if you were transfering From the
computer TO the card or camera.

Thanks for the info on the readers philo. that does seem to be the easiest
solution and since all my other usb devices work fine (as well as the hub),
it seems like the perfect solution for me .... at least until I break down
and upgrade to xp ... I just HATE redoing and reloading everything. Lazy is
my middle name :P lol

mm, drop a note in here if you find out more on that.
