I tried to open the files on my laptop, desktop and also tried my camera again and nothing. When I put the flash card in, the camera will open turn on but will freeze with a black screen. How can I reformat it on my desktop, or what recovery software should I look into

But for sure will format my next one. this is one picture I took with my internal memory.

Does it freeze in both shoot and play mode?

Don't you live close to me, I have a laptop and workstations... I would be more than happy to try it on my gear.

+1 on Ebay for unlocked phones. A few years ago I lost about 300 pics on my card, I took it to the camera store on 11 ave & they recovered it for me for free.

It sounds like either the card was removed from the laptop while a file was being read , and it corrupted it , or, if the laptop is a Vista or W 7 machine , a click was accidentally made allowing the laptop to try to format the card for extended RAM.
A good practice is to use the little switch on camera cards to make it read only if you are going to try to read it on someone elses computer .. and always use the "safe remove" when taking the card out of a pc. I hope you are able to recover at least some of your pix . The one you posted gives a hint of some very nice shots.

There are a number of file recovery programs online. Finding a free one may take some searching. I know people who have done it with success. Your local camera store would likely help as well. Your not the first

Cardrecovery 3.5

Google is your friend. Good luck.
