Try to find a way to connect the camera to the computer and transfer you pics over?

Is it a fake card? Take kleefarr's advice and try plugging it in from the camera or a PSP if you have one

Good call on the PSP. I forgot about that. Should know someone with one if he/she doesn't have one.

Also you can check if the card is real or fake on a PSP! Highlight the card, press ∆ button and select 'information'
If it says 'Magicgate: supported' its real and if it says 'Magicgate: Unknown ' Its fake.
It does sound like a fake card though, did you buy it from a legit source?
