I can assist you if you wantfor start here is the card reader driverhttp://dlv.update.sony.net/US/pc/RIDFMC-70165673-64.EXE

try using a pc with card reader / writer to format the memory stick pro duo and then try it again in camera it should work........If you have troubles formatting the same using a PC as well check if gets detected as removable disk and then try using a antivirus to scan it and if you find any virus, remove it first and then format it. it should then work.............

As your description, I think your memory stick is error which may cause by virus attack or partition corrupted. It won't hurt to try to plug the stick to another computer and see whether this case happan again,if it does, besides you can use the chdsk tool in windows to fix the error, However if you can not fix it ,you should recover the data from memory stick firstly, know more here: Memory Stick Recovery

you should format this.

you put it on computer.

If formatting the card didn't fix it then yes I would replace the card.

Go to a computer store and ask for a "USB to PRO Duo Memory Card Adapter". Stick the card in the adapter plug the adapter into the computer.

check the small lock switch on the adapter usually located on the edge of the adapter. check and see if in lock or open position. if its in lock position toggle the switch to open position and you should be able to read as well as write date to and fro from the sony memory stick pro duo adapter. good luck

you can buy a All in one USB Card reader/Writer and then insert the memory stick pro duo card in it and plug in the USB Card reader/ writerto the USB port on your laptop and you should find the same listed under removable devices under my computer. good luck

is it possible that the auto play window just isnt poping up. go to the start menu > my computer> the look to see if it shows up there. have a great dat

First make sure the card is not locked. Do this by checking on the side of the card that the lock notch is not in the locked position. If it is not locked then you should put the card in your computer and reformat it. If this isn't successful then its time to go get a new card. You can get a new one for under $20.

clear card contacts with pice of paper, then if will not be good, yuo will need change card

Some Sony Cybershot camera's have a small amount of memory built into the camera. Double check that the camera is set to put the pictures onto the memory stick.
If the camera is set up correctly, the memory stick may not be formatted correctly for your computer. If at all possible, connect the camera to your computer directly with the USB cable that should have come with it.
