Many times the software that comes with devices such as cameras and printers has to be reinstalled or replaced. With the camera memory cards/sticks one can usually read it in the computers card reader, most Notebooks have it and some Desktops, or get a pocketable Targus card reader at stores like Wal*Mart for SD/SDHC cards. There's others available on the 'net that accommodate other formats such as Compact Flash.
