==================================
Just wondering....when your card reader is
connected...if you open your My Pictures folder
does the "Get pictures from camera or scanner*
option show in the Picture Tasks pane?

John,

No, the option is not there.

I have a shortcut to an installed scanner on my desktop; clicking the
shortcut starts the wizard for that device. Nothing I can do right now will
get the reader to start the wizard. Autoplay features are no help.

Thanks,

Scott

John,

Thanks, I will try that Monday when I get back to work. I've had problems
on and off with the wizard and you're right it seems to be a common
occurrence.

Of all of the image handling applications I've use this wizard has been the
simplest and most useful one to date. It seems that others agree. If I
were MS I'd look to fix this inconsistency.

I usually have problems with it when I install a new application that has
hooks in the image "file type" associations. A simple powertoy applet to
restore defaults would be nice to have when this happens.

Thanks,

Scott

You're correct, there should be a simple fix
for this problem...I wish I knew what it was.

Let me know if the shortcut works.
