Question:

why won't my computer open up the D: drive that is my memory card reader?

I have a sandisk video HD card 4 GB and everytime I put in it in the computer built in card reader I can't open it even when I go to explore it will just freeze up but the card reader works when I put in the memory card for my picture camera in the same card reader. Its only this card that it won't read, it said something about it being unable to read it because its secure?? Help!!! I want to save my movies to my computer.

Answer:

Possibly, the reader in the computer can't handle cards over 2GB. One alternative is to find the cable that hooks the camera up to the computer and transfer the data that way. Another is to try out a different card reader that is supposed to work with 4GB and larger cards.
