My 256MB Fuji camera memory card I had for a year won't store
pictures when a picture is taken. But it will respond to access from a PC
hook up via a USB cable. I went out and bought a 125MB card and
everything works like normal. Is it normal for a card to expire so soon
or did I abuse it?

Thanks

You didn't mention what kind of card it is but did you try a card slot
cleaning kit in the camera? I have SmartMedia in one camera and on
occasion certain cards can be difficult and make intermittent contact.
Cleaning the card slot and/or the contacts on the card fixes the
problem. If the card works ok in the USB reader, but not in the camera,
this sound like the problem.
