Everytime i put my card reader in my PC and open the pictures, I can view them on the reader but when i try to transfer them on to PC i get an error message saying the following....

Cannot copy file:Cannot read from the source file or disk.

Whats going on ???

What program are you using to transfer them?
 
Just windows ! I use CS5 and Lightroom but normally just save them into a folder then open them up from there but they won't transfer, just keep getting that stupid message :(

Try using the camera to transfer, might be a faulty card reader

That's what I thought but have used another one and it still comes up with the same message, can't find my camera lead to try from camera :(
 
My guess would be dud card reader or dud usb connection. Try a different cable and a different usb socket before you buy a new reader.
 
Does the pc recognise the card reader. If not try and find a new driver and install that. It could well solve the problem.
