In the past all I had to do is copy the files over to the flash card, if you computer does not see it as a regular dos disk then the card could be bad which I am guessing it's fine as you are using it in the game?

The cards can be read on any computer and they do not need anything special to be seen.

Have you read cards in the past?  It can be missing drivers for the card reader and or just not compatible etc.

I have not read cards in the past...I was trying to do this one on an older computer in which the slot was being used for a wireless card. When I inserted the card, I could not find where I could open it and see the files on the card. I could only see files on my harddrive, the CD drive, and a 3-1/2" disk drive. My newer laptop has the slot/drive for the card to insert, however, the card will not insert all the way.  Scratch Head When I look inside, theres a tab on the right preventing it from reaching the readers. The carrier/cover that slides in to the slot when it's closed has a place to hold what i'm guessing is a smaller card, which lines up on the left with the readers in the drive/port.

Thank you very much for your input. This seemed easy enough when I first set out to do it!

you need a Laptop PCMCIA CF Compact Flash Card Reader Adapter
Can get one on eBay for about $6
This will allow you to plug into your laptop

Use the smaller flash cards like max at around 64 or 128MB or the LCD computer will give you errors.
I first bought 2GB & 4GB flash cards and the Vision computer gave me nothing but errors.
