I never bothered installing the software for my Canon Powershot A80, and I'm quite happy with the built-in tools. I recently found that Image Capture will pull video clips from the camera & iMovie is happy to import them (it takes a few minutes to convert them though). To the original poster, if the Nikon software is crashing your computer, you definitely *don't* need it. If iPhoto or Image Capture doesn't do what you want, the card reader suggestion is your best bet. -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t "The hardest part of all this is the part that requires thinking." -- Paul Tyson, on xml-doc
