Memory Stick

Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong thread. I've got a Sony Memory Stick that is giving me a fit. I can view the pictures when the stick is installed in the camera (Sony CyberShot Pro) but I can't get anything to download or view on my computer. I've got two computers and no joy on either one. I even broke out the Pci card reader that came with the camera, hooked it up to my computer and still couldn't see anything on the stick. If I right click the drive the stick is displayed as and click properties, I can see 9.98 mb used with 54 mb free, I just can't see the pics. I really hate to lose the shots of my 5 year old first year of tball and his 5th Bday today. Thanks for any ideas or help you can offer.

Are there any folders or files that display in explorer? How about if you use the Sony Software? Does the drive even show up in explorer when the stick in the reader?

Is there a port to transfer picture off of the camera using a USB cable?

No folders show up at all, the dirve is J for my computer reader and K for the sony reader I installed. Again, the stick shows almost 10 mb used under properties but thats it.
I can put the stick in the camera and look at all the pics I have taken.

Thank for the help but I formated the stick. Son's got one more game to play next week so I'll get more pics. It's nice having a site like to for help and support, thanks again.

The Sony pro stick usually has two folders, one is labeled "misc" inside that one you should find your photo's starting with number "dsc0001"

Also make sure when you use it that you have the memory stick selected and not the internal memeory for pic storage. They may still be in the camera
