for a digital camera to view an image they need to be in a folder named DCIM
so when you are in windows it should look like (D:)\DCIM
your drive letter may not be D it is random
-try to open the memory card on other devices such as memory card reader, or laptop card reader -format the memory card using the options in camera menu -the memory card is damaged, due to illegal operation or else => change it with the new one
If you format, you will lose everything...format means erase and optimize. Take your card to a store like Walmart that has a Kodak picture maker machine. It will usually read all the pics on a card and you can make a cd of them on the machine.
Thats a good question. Can you view the same picture on your computer? have you edited the photos you are trying to view (even rotated them on the PC), or re-named them. If you have renamed them, you will need to change the name back to the same format as they were when taken EG: NI7000001 (similar number is OK, but must have the same amount of characters in filename) ..., connect computer and browse to folder where photos are, see if the ones you are trying to view are viewable on pc, and check their names. also see if the size of the ones you are trying to view are smaller or larger size, as they may be corrupt. I would copy them all off the camera and then format the card in the camera. A lot of problems occur when the card is not formatted for long periods of time.
Does the camera have internal memory? The folder name might not match the folder you or the camera are looking for. REmove mem card and see if the pics are still on the camera, if so, then try again without the card in. try and see the card in "mass media storage" mode on your PC. Reformat the card in the camera after you get the pics off to reset the folder name.
