Memory Card Problems

This probably isn't the correct area for this question, but I couldn't find where else to ask it. I just recently purchased a Olympus Stylus 500 camera with a Olympus XD-Picture Card (512 MB). For some reason, whenever I try to load pictures onto the computer it tells me the picture card is write protected. I can't delete the photos off the card, I can't format the card from my PC. This is getting quite aggravating.

Has anyone else run into this problem???

you're right, this is the wrong section. it should be in "general photography". i think you'll get a better answer in there too.

the only thing i can think that it could be is that you need to install some software that comes with the camera. or maybe your computer isn't "plug and play" compatable.
