If you've got a card reader and you're running Windows XP, the processing of pulling your images off of your memory card and copying them to your PC is about as easy as making popcorn in your microwave.
Just follow these simple steps: 1.
Create a new folder on your PC to store the images.
* Double click on "My Documents".
* Double click on "My Pictures".
* Click on the "Make a new folder" link.
2.
Give your new folder a descriptive name that will remind you of what the pictures are about.
3.
Insert your memory card into your PC-connected card reader 4.
Wait until a the option to "Copy pictures to a folder on my computer using Microsoft Scanner & Camera Wizard" appears and click on the link.
5.
Click the "Next" button.
7.
Look in the right-hand corner of each picture and observe the status of the check box.
Make sure that the images you want to copy are checked and the ones that you do not are unchecked.
There is also a "Clear All" button in case you mess up and want to restart the selection/deselection process over.
8.
Click the "Next" button and type in any appropriate names that you want for the pictures.
9.
Click the "Browse" button and navigate to your new folder if necessary and click on "OK".
10.
Once the upload completes, select the option that reads: "Nothing I'm finished working with these pictures.
" 11.
Click on "Finish".
OK, making popcorn in the microwave might be a wee bit easier, but the popcorn will be eaten in a few minutes but your digital pictures could be with you forever!
