What is wrong with my 2 GB SD memory card?

Question

I believe there is something wrong with my SD 2 Gb memory card I bought. I took some videos with my Canon PowerShot SD 550 7.1 and I connected the camera via usb cable that came with the cam and used the cam software to try and download the videos but it wont download them. The screen on the camera goes black continuously. Usually it will show the progress of the download onscreen of my comp. It will only download the photos I have. The software recognizes there is a video there , but it wont download it onto my computer. If I try to manually click and D L just the video I get a messsage saying the camera has lost detection, try checking the cable for errors or such. I know it cant be the cable because If I swap my 512 mb card into the camera, I can download videos/photos easily. When I first used the 2 GB card I was able to download 4 videos then one day it stopped downloading videos. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling of the program and it still does the same.

Answer 1

When was the last time you formatted your SD memory card ... use the cameras format feature to do that ... and do it after you have transfered your image files every night to your computer ... every time

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong with your memory card.  Your camera may be screwy though.  

If you have a card reader on your computer, use it, but UPLOAD the videos to Windows Media Player.  

Even still, use Windows Media Player and your vids should upload just fine.

Get a card reader, they are cheap and very handy to use. You would put the card from your camera in the reader and open the reader as a drive in MyComputer, then also open MyDocuments/MyPictures and drag and drop your photos into the file and then drag and drop your videos in to MyDocuments/MyVideos.
