If the memory card is in the camera then i can turn it on but only the screen is iluminated and the shutter opens. but no buttons work. and the camera can not be shut off. the only way i can shut it off is by removing the battery. if i remove the memory card then the camra works fine. but the second i put the memory card in the slot then thats when the camera freezes up. the memory card is a 1 gig kodak and is brand new. it has worked fine the past few days. the camera is a HP R967
It sounds as if either the file allocation table or some data on the card has become corrupted.
Have you got access to another camera (friends or family) that you could try it in?
Have you got a card reader on your PC? If so, you should be able to re-format the card using Windows. (Go to My Computer, right-click on the card reader icon and select format)
Hopefully this will cure the problem. If not, you should be able to change it if it is new.

The camera can be turned on , but the picture taking button will not take a picture when trying to depress it
Mine is doing that same thing, and I have two memory cards, it does it with both, and it worked fine last time I took pictures. Nothing I try fixes it.
I have the HP E317 and it is doing the same thing, the card works in my other cameras.
