If you did mention the Device you are uploading from, then I could make the explanation more specific. Let me guess, you are uploading photos from your CD/DVD, before you pop in the disk into the Cd/Dvd Rom tray, open My Computer, right click the CD/DVD drive and select "Properties", on the "Properties" dialog box, click "Autoplay". Now select the file format from the drop-down lists:
Next apply the changes after selecting the appropriate settings :
Click "Select an action to Perform", then click once the "copy pictures to a folder on my computer using microsoft scanner and camera wizard" and click "Apply" then, "Ok". Now insert the disk in Picture Disk in the CD/DVD drive. It'll open up automatically with the wizard.
Do the same with the Memory card, Flash Drive, or Camera but this should be done after they are connected/installed to the computer. After the changes are made, once again right click the Drive/Device name in the "My computer" folder and select Autoplay, or if there's no Autoplay option, reconnect or reinstall the external device/storage. They should work now.
If you need further help, let me know.
Thanks for using FixYa.
You didn't said from what device you are trying to upload the photos so i can't help you with that.
But you might not need a special software: all modern devices have what is called a PC mode - or sometimes called Storage mode. What that mode does is it makes the unit act just like a USB memory stick: you plug it in an USB socket with its cable, wait a few seconds and it appears in My Computer. Now all you need to do is to just open it there and Cut/Paste the photo files wherever you want on your pc. That is all that software does anyway.
Sorry but i can't make it more simply than this: put the card in the reader; plug the reader in the pc; open MyComputer and go to the card reader and open it - it will be labeled Removable Media; cut all the files that you want from there and paste them somewhere else on your pc - In MY Documents probably, it would be the obvious place for someone as unskilled as yu.
That is all. If you can't follow even this simple instructions then you shouldn't be using a pc.

Thank you, I am using an external HD card reader plugged in to my computer. It used to come up with a "wizard" to guide me through the process. That wizard has been gone for some time and I cannot navigate my way through the computer technically. Any other thoughts?
I have a Compaq Presario v2000. I no longer have the wizard to upload photos from a SD card device into my computer. Dont know why its gone. Im not great in computer navigation, and dont know how to manually complete this process. The first guy that responded was not able to help, or explain in terms I can understand. Very frustrating $9 spent.
