it does that when i click on any file whether it be a single picture, a single cab, or a folder of stuff.

i was able to put it in my ps3 and copy all my pictures over but it wont open up any music files which is fine because all my music is on my computer anyway.

so from this point how can i reformat the card if whenever i click on it it freezes my windows explorer?

you said you were able to see the contents of the card on your computer just not do anything with it right? Try right clicking the storage card instead of opening it and there should be an option to format card.

even when i right click storage card it freezes the windows explorer on my laptop. Is there a way to format the card on a winmo 6.5 device? i can view the storage card on the samsung omnia 2 (my gf's phone) is there a way to format directly on the phone?

Is it possible you set encryption up on your card? I believe I have had this issue once where my laptop couldn't read card when I had the encryption enabled.

Just wanted to let you know you are not alone! My 16gb card did/does the same exact thing. It went along working fine on the TP and the TP2 and then one day it started locking up the phone so when I tested it without the card, of course, it worked perfectly. Then when I tried to format the card I got the same issue. I suspect it is from taking it out so often. Maybe it scratched it or whatever but it seems to be in the great beyond!

Let me know if you find anything out! and I will do the same.
