Moniece, do you have a memory card reader? That you slip the card reader into, like a disc?

If not, the camera should have come with a direct camera to computer cord. Then you download off the camera to a folder on your computer (leave it on your desktop so you can find it).

Okay, I have an older one like that too. Just put the disk in the computer. Go to your email program, click on attach (paperclip). Browse to your floppy (a or b), then click on attach when you get what you want. Email to debbie@mato.com. I'll post them for you!!

Congratulations!!

Okay...

Right click the Start button
Select Explore
Open A drive
Open the folder that has the pictures on it.
Mouse over the folder and left click and DRAG it to where it says "Desktop"

Okay...try that and tell me if you got it okay.

My camera uses a disc and I love it because it is so easy.

Do you have a My Computer icon on your desktop?
If so, double click on it and when the window opens, click on 3 1/2 floppy and it will open your camera's photos. There should be a selection for viewing, either as icons or thumbnails.

I have a "ShortCut to" folder for all of my photos on my desktop that I save pictures in. I have both open in 1/2 size windows and drag the photos to the various folders in my photo folder.
From there, if I want to send an email with pics, I open the email and then open my picture folder and drag those pics to the email.

Sounds like you are in your browser.... Have you tried dragging and dropping the files from the disk to your hard drive somewhere (desktop, like Carol said) or a place where you keep pics? Then you can attach them from your hard drive.

They might be very large and your mail server only lets you send a certain file size at a time. Try just sending one, and see if that works. I can size them for you before posting. Then you can grab them off the bb if you dont have a way to size them.

Just click on the paperclip for attaching. When you browse, keep hitting the "up" arrow until you get to desktop. You can attach them from there.
