Do you have Blackberry RIM installed? Does your PC recognize your Blackberry when attached by USB?
On my Pearl, when I attach it by USB my PC recognizes it (Windows XP). The Blackberry itself asks if I want to let it be recognized for file transfer. I always respond [OK].
Once recognized for file transfer, you should be able to go into Windows Explorer and see it as a separate drive. Also, your expansion card should be seen as well. This should allow you to transfer the photos to your hard drive.
gonna try that...was too reliant on the owners manuel...
thanks
