Memory card association

It Used to, when I put the memory card in my printer, a window would come
up asking me what I want to do.. Now the only thing I see is in the window
of the printer, and it asks me. I would rather have that window come up so
I can view the photo's on my computer. The name of my printer is Brother if
that makes any difference. I would appreciate any help at all.

Windows XP
SP3

thanks Rainy

I don't quite follow your question (particularly, I don't understand
"Now the only thing I see is in the window of the printer, and it asks
me"), but I think what you're asking about is the Autoplay window.

Try this:

Open "My Computer" and right click on an icon for a removable drive
(either a CD/DVD drive or the drive assigned to the slot in your printer).

Select the Autoplay tab.

In the drop-down box, select "Pictures" and then click the radio button
to "Prompt me each time to choose an action."

Click OK
