I am not sure I have posted in the correct section, so forgive me if I have not.

I am using Windows 7, I imported some pics from my digital camera to my laptop.
A few days ago I thought I no longer needed them so I deleted said, I then emptied them from my recycle bin, I later found I needed to use them again, I still had them in my camera so tried to import them onto my laptop again. The box keeps coming up saying no new photos found.

A fab guy on the computer section told me how to   test my camera just in case the fault lays with it, but it's fine, the fresh pics I took imported fine onto my laptop.

Does anyone know away around this problem, this only happens with  windows 7, never happend with vista.


I have since found out that deleted items can stay on your hard disk for months if not years.

I have worked out this problem for myself, I installed "Picasa3" for free. It works great so if anyone as problems uploading pictures try it.

Nice one. I use picasa3 too. Its awesome for managing and touching up pictures and all. Wise choice!

Yes you are correct. Sadly I cannot control the paint icon and when I use the crop I find it hard to manoeuvre.

It does have some effects that are new to me, I used one on my profile pic, but it gave me what looks like a double head
but i like the blurred effect.

I will keep playing around with it.

Do you have any tips on touching up pics.

As a matter of fact, I do. First of all, there's this awesome feature called "I'm feeling lucky" which is a one stop photo-fix took. It most likely corrects defects with your original lighting and contrast with the click of a button. However, if you choose to go pro, then you're gonna love playing around with the other tuning tools and awesome effects. As for the cropping, you might wanna try the manual crop instead. The auto-crop may not get exactly what you want but its cool. Most importantly, Picasa creates a backup of your pics by default so you can always have the original if you mess up your pic. Cheers

Hi Kempisuper, I came online specifically to reply to your answer.

I have used all of the tools you have mentioned.

I have a really big problem in mastering the use of the paint brush and pot tool, would you be able to explain how to use them?


Thank you in advance for your time and help.
