flash card

Then we need to know What flavour of Vista: I:E Home, Business, Ultimate. (32 or 64 bit)
Ok, the flash card you can save, your photo's should still be on there. Just right click on the flash card in "my computer" the little drive will be any letter other than "C".
And then "properties > customize", where it says "use this folder type as a template" make it "pictures and videos", now this will (after you put in the flash card) bring up a box of where you can then un-tick "delete pictures after copying" or something similar.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
If this info is useful, please mark it helpful. Thanks
