PC Card icon in the menu bar?

iPhoto would be launching at this point (unless changed).

SanDisk SD cards do work, but I haven't tried a 32 MB one. I've never tried an MMC card with my Dazzle adapter.

Bad PCMCIA connector in your Ti? Bad card that only affects some computers?

Suggestions:

-try another Dazzle card.
-try some other adapter card.
-make sure iPhoto launches successfully, at least with USB connection to your camera
-what makes a card icon in your menu bar?
-any other utilities that might intercept a card that is mounting?
