HELP, once again the OLD guy needs some more computer help. I am not at all computer savvy like so many guys here so I need some guidance. I have a HP desk top computer with Windows XP (yeah, I know it's an OLD system)
For years, I could insert an SD card (memory stick or what ever they are called) directly into the SD card slot and the computer screen would immediately show a medium size square of info with choices of what we want done with the photos on the SD card. As I said this has been the way we have been transferring the card info to the computer. We normally would choose to VIEW the contents but other choices were SLIDE SHOW, SAVE CONTENTS TO A FOLDER etc, etc.... Now, suddenly, we no longer have the option of choosing what we want done with the contents and the pictures show up immediately as soon as the card is inserted. I hope someone knows what I am talking about and give a reasonable explanation on how to regain the choice option as we have been getting/using for YEARS. Please, no bull shit comments/ideas as I have been farting around with this thing for hours, am losing my patience and still cannot come up with the option that we now no longer have available. I seriously doubt if the brand of SD cards have anything to do with the loss of the option we formerly had however the SD cards being used are Sandisk and Sony.
HELP!![Mad]
