Hi, thanks for the input. I already tried that. I've called around to different computer repair places, and found a place that says they'll retrieve pics, and put them on a disc for $20..... others would charge more. So, I guess I'll have to do that, unless any other way comes up!
thanks

Hi 1953golfer,
As you mentioned you suspect virus in the memory card, connect the memory card to the computer and scan using a good antivirus. This will remove any traces of harmful files/programs from the computer.
Do reply with results.

when I put the card in, it showed folders entitled "sex", "porn" and "password".
Not very subtle, huh?
My camera has a printer & docking station, which connects to the computer. But, I can't view the pics that way either. The Toshiba person told me the card had been damaged... think she's right!
I'll take it to a pro tech repair guy, says he can do it for $20

Hello
Try this:
Download UsbFix (created by El Desaparecido) on your desktop.
http://ccm.net/download/download-24089-usbfix
If your antivirus gives an alert, ignore it and temporarily deactivate the antivirus.
Plug in your device don't open it.
Double click sur UsbFix.exe.
Click on deletion
.
Let the tool work.
At the end of the scan a report will show which you can copy and paste here..
The report is save at the root ( C:\UsbFix.txt ).
This could very well save you $20. It can't hurt.
Good luck

Thanks, I'll remember it for the future, it may have worked! But... Turns out a local tech shop did it for $!5. He had to scan & clean out bad files first, then put it in some kindof machine, (reader) which he thought would take about 6 hrs to put on a dvd. So, I got back by 900 pics! Next time I'll have a backup!

Oh well !
That's the way the cookie crumbles.
The virus must have come from a computer, so be careful. Running USB Fix and Malwarebyte on your machine cannot hurt.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
