Drawing failed

Postby redbluegreen on Tue Nov 28, 2006 7:09 am

Hi I had a message when I went to get some photos off my card on the weekend stating "drawing failed". can anybody please tell me what this means - apart from the obivious. The card was a Sandisk Ultra2/ 2gb new from , yes, Ebay.

Thanks

Was that JPEG, RAW?

How big is the file?


Windows default pic viewer cannot view RAW nor too large images.

Tried viewing the file(s) on another viewer? like photoshop or a web browser (if it's JPEG that is).

how about on a different computer? or back in the camera?

I bought the same card from ebay - payed $ 46.00 for it.

Not quite kosher. :wink:

Causes all sorts of errors.

Google Sandisk card authenticity and check your card from the examples shown.
