Olympus cameras have a special memory card called xD-Picture Card. You can buy these cards from any cameras shop or from eBay (probably cheaper although they are more expensive than the regular cards).
I'm guessing that your memory card is an SD type. These cards have a little switch on the card that can write protect or "lock" it. Take the card out of the camera and check this switch. To unlock it, it should be moved towards the edge of the card which has the electrical contacts.
Does the memory card have a slide switch on the side? It should be set to "unlocked". If that doesn't work, use a card reader to download any pics from the card and then insert it back into the camera. Go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions. By the way...cameras can't get a virus.
it is really not advisablel to open your garmin at all, the warranty will be void... but on the side of the unit where you put your memory card in you can slip a thin flat screwdriver into it you need to put one above the memory card slot and one below... if not done carefully you can damage the unit rather send it in if you have any hardware problems. they might charge if you are out of warranty but it is better than damaging the unit and having to pay for a new one
Either the software in both cameras need be updated. EIther by online software update program or the manufacture will do it for $50 a camera. Otherwise, some SD cards to have conflicts with some camer'a software for some reason. Sometimes using the wrong sd card in a camera will result in memory flash and causing the camera to be in need of software update. Once updated you should be good and should work with all sd cards from now on.
Remove the memory card and look for a near-microscopic slide switch along the edge of the board.
If you don't find one, it may have a tab-type lock that has been activated.
If the card is not equipped with either one, it is probably dead.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.
