    Hi!


    I have a memory card from my camera that i would like to download some files from (not having the pc-to-camera cord with me), there is a slot on the laptop where i can put the card, but what drivers do i need and then when i have them, where do i download the files from the card?


    Thanks in advance

    You shouldn't need any extra drivers, just plug the card into the side, and a window should pop up asking you what you want to do. If there is no pop up, just go to My Computer and you can navigate around the memory card from there.

    It's not a USB-stick, it's a smal memory-card (just in case you missunderstand).

    Nothing happens when i insert it, no new drive under My Computer neither.

    But then I have reinstalled XP and not installed very much drivers from Dell.

    I have installed the Ricoh driver from dell.com now, but still, nothing happens when i insert the card in to the slot, nothing at all.
