The easiest way is to buy a data transfer cable and transfer the data from your laptop to your other computer directly. this how I did it last year. I haven't refreshed my memory yet this year on how I did the hook up, but when I did it was much easier. I have looked for a card reader for XP also and for the flash cards only there are some options, the problem is when you want to read SRAM and flashcards both. So you should be able to find something that will work. Hope this helps kirk
