This is pretty much the avenue along which I am being pointed noblues.
Bear in mid though it is compact flash we are dealing with here.
Originally I thought it was a limitation with WIN2K but that idea was blown out when the images could be downloaded using a camera.
It really does point to the limitation being in the reader.
Like I said, I have no trouble downloading onto my laptop using a PCMIA(whatever it is) card.
I will follow your advice.
Thanks guys
