Mapiro,
That’s a good tip from Glen, transferring images from the camera to the computer directly eats batteries. Like you have discovered, multi card readers are very inexpensive and would soon pay for itself in what you would save in batteries/recharging etc.
Never heard of having to have a Nikon executable running to enable image viewing unless it some sort of album application. With your camera connected to your PC, how does it display in My Computer? If you can see it as another "drive", eg, (Nikon Coolpix3200) clicking on this folder should display another folder called DCIM. Clicking this should display your images in Windows Explorer, if this is the case you should be able to open the image from any application by navigating to the DCIM folder.
Regards
Mike
Mapiro,
Found this about NkvMon.exe
"This is a valid program but it is not required to run on startup.
This program is not required to start automatically as you can run it when you need to. It is advised that you disable this program so that it does not take up necessary resources. The following information is a brief description of what is known about this file. If you require further assistance for this file, feel free to ask about in the forums.
Name: NkvMon.exe

Next time you connect the camera, check in My Computer to see if it’s listed as a drive. If so, you should be able to open your images from there.
