    I have a new digita camera using SDHC cards . My problem is when I enstall
    card into laptop (Toshiba Satellite A215) My pictures come out distorted.
    Top of pic may be dark and bottom light or just have lines running through it, Laptop sees the card ...no proplem.
    Sd card is SDHC 8 gig. I bought a card reader, a Dynex and works fine . Is this because the A215 sd reader will not work with high cap cards ?
    I hate to have to have external reader . Is there any way I can get A215 to read High cap cards?
    I had older 1 gig card with old camera and had no proplem Thanks Bill

    Try pushing the card all the way in or pulling a tiny bit out.

    Look for a newer driver for the SD card reader.
