I have a HP 315 digital camera with a 128 MB CF card that Windows XP will not read. I've found, through research, that Win XP doesn't recognize CF cards over 32MB. Does anyone know of a fix for this yet? I may just end up buy a CF card reader. What is a good, inexpensive, USB reader? Where to buy it?

I have the exact same camera as u do, also running XP... I dont have any problems becuz I only have a 32MB card...

There's currently no fix for this problem, u will have to buy a CF card reader...

EDIT: BTW, do you find the pictures at med/high res setting to be a little fuzzy? Have you tried printing those pics through digital photo finishing? if so, how did they turn out?

yes, the pics are a bit fuzzy. I have a tough time trying to hold the camera steady when taking pictures. The shutter speed on the camera isn't as fast as it should be. Any movement of the camera when snapping the picture causes a double image or fuzzyness. Try to hold that camera as rock solid as you can. I have not tried printing pictures through digital photo finishing. Do you know of an inexpensive, but reliable USB CF reader?
