i downloaded everything on the memory card to my computer, but no program would open them

all i got was..." unable to open files"... tyred everything but no joy, as for the camera i took it to a shop this morning to see if i could get it sorted out. the guy said leave it with me and he would sort it out and call back in an hour or so, i asked him how much it would cost, he said it would be around £30

feck that!!!! and headed off with the camera. called in to a mate who's all in to this type of stuff and showed it to him, he sorted it out in about two minutes

but had to lose everything on the memory card for he said he had to reformat it, plus he showed me what to do if it happens again

he also told me that the guy in the shop could have done it there and then, and that he was just looking to fleese me out of a few quid

so camera back on the road again, happy days
