I bought a Pentax Optio 60 camera a few weeks ago, and since the beginning I have had problems putting the photos on my computer. I have memory card slots on my computer tower, which work fine with my mum's Sony Memory Sticks. I put my SD memory card directly into the slot in my tower, and the dialogue box popped up as usual, prompting me to choose an action for the memory card.
I selected 'Open Folder to View Files'. There are two folders on my memory card. One titled 'DCIM', and within that, one titled '100PENTX', containing the photos. When I open the 'drive' that my computer recognises the memory card as, I can only go so far as to open the drive before this message comes up:

Sometimes I can open the DCIM folder, but not get into the 100PENTX folder. I resorted to using the USB cord provided with my camera, and I was able to access the photos. However, the above problem sometimes occurs when I use USB.
I have found that the solution to this is to take a few more photos of nothing in particular, then try USB again. I have installed the drivers for my camera, but I don't think that they should affect the memory card itself. I have also tried formatting the memory card.
Does anyone know a possible solution to this problem? Please let me know if you need any more information. I have included as much as possible.
