Another possibility: the memory card is "used" up. The chip inside
(usually EEPROM) that stores the pictures are good for so many write
cycles before it burns out and can't be written, erased, or
reformatted anymore. A good quality card is typically good for over
100,000 write cycles, which is usually longer than the life of most
camera camera people have.

Try formatting it in the computer. if it works, reformat inside your
camera first and you should be ok. If the card won't reformat, then
your card is likely burned out.

Arggghh!!

I tried formatting in the camera, wouldn't format, reported a card error, I
will attempt in the computer. I have a card reader in my HP Printer, is that
OK to use?
