Memory stick and digital card reader help!?

I bought a sony memory stick pro duo and a digital card reader and im trying to upload pictures from it on to my computer but i cant seem to figure out how to,am i doing something wrong?

Answer:

It would help if you told us what you ARE doing to start with, then we would know whether you are doing it wrong or not.
Something that may or may not be the problem is whether (or how well) a Memory Stick Pro Duo fits the reader. Sometimes they don't. Each Memory Stick Pro Duo comes with a Memory Stick adapter in the package. Insert your MS Pro Duo into that, and then insert that into the reader. See if that makes it fit or work better.
Plug your card into your card reader. If you are using the camera as one, put the card in it and plug it into the computer. It will begin to install the drivers, wait until it says something like your device is installed and ready to use. Then, you are ready to go. You need to go to My Computer either on your desktop or Start---My Computer (or computer in vista) ----then you will see all of your drives there. You should see your Hard drive which usually has the letter C like this C: and you will see your CD drive and anything else that has a storage medium show up there. Click on any of them but the C: drive, and you CD drive (usually drive D:) And it should open and you wont see your pictures, you should see a folder called DCIM or the model of your camera as the name, click on it and there is a chance you may see another folder, if you do just click on it, your pictures will be somewhere in there. Then when you find them, you may either put all of them on your computer by pushing CTRL and A together, this will select all of your pictures, if you only want some, you need to hold the Ctrl button while you are selecting the ones you want, but don't let go of Ctrl, or else it will deselect everything you just selected, except whatever you just clicked on. Then when you are finished selecting, drag and drop them wherever you would like your pictures to be located on your hard drive, I'm guessing your My Pictures folder lol
