DrT, yahoo!! i deleted them, perfect directions. thank you so much, borisb i didn't use a sd card yet, i did what sjarrel said, i hit the plus sign on top of the reader. i was trying to get back to the screen that has the arrows on the bottom of the reader because i couldn't get back to it & no icons on the bottom worked when i hit them with the stylus. i guess you can't just hit things w/o knowing what they do! my bad. thank you all for your help. i absolutely love & appreciate this forum. you people are AWESOME
