I bought my mom a little Cannon PowerShot A75 for a present, and I have ran into a little problem with it.

Whenever I take the CF card and try to put it into my computer, the computer does not read the card. When I try to access the drive where the card is, it either says there is nothing in the drive or it freezes up.

I have a one year old HP computer with one of those 4 in 1 card readers in the front, below the floppy drive. I can read Smart Media cards because it always works when I transfer songs between my digital recorder and PC through Smart Media.

Could someone please help me?

Try that card in another media reader, and try another card in yours. That should show you which is faulty, or at least get you started in your troubleshooting. Does the card need to be formatted before use?

Guitarist: May be a little late, but I ran across this problem tonight, looked here to see if anyone had any ideas and saw your post. The card would not go in completely. Got to thinking, looked into the card reader in my HP 2410 psc and saw one bottom pin bent down. I took a 1/8 in. dowel, sharpened the end to a wedge and veeerrryyyy carefully with a magnifier in one hand reached the dowel in and bent the pin up. First try was too high, so carefully slid the wedged dowel between the bottom pin and the next one so it "looked right". Put the card back in and it bottomed. VOILA! Pictures! HTH
