Card Reader downloading vs camera

I want to use my card reader to pick off the pictures from my Smart Media card. The software that comes with the camera for downloading the pictures gets the pictures from the camera only. How can I get this software to look for the card reader instead?
OR is there some other software that will download my pictures from the memory card and store them in a folder on my hard drive? Then I can edit the pictures anyway I want from there. I use Win98.
Thanks
Claire

 

Doesn't your card reader get a drive letter? Just click on the drive letter for your card reader to open it up to see the files on it. Then just drag the photos you want to a folder you want to save them in.
