DL, you've got the patience of a saint...

....but consider this: the normal, expected behavior of an XP system to a
flash card, memory stick, or whatever, would be to recognize that item as a
removable drive, a solid state drive, or whatever terminology the particular
computer uses. A memory card is just that...a generic removable storage
device -- it is not necessarily from a camera, and as such, the camera and
scanner wizard popping up would be the wrong behavior for Windows.

If the camera and scanner wizard was popping up before, it had to be
something that was installed for the camera, or perhaps something written on
the memory stick that changed the default behavior (removable drive) to
having the camera and scanner wizard appear.

So, trying to fix the "problem" through Windows probably isn't going to get
you anywhere as Windows is doing as Windows is supposed to do -- it's
"seeing" a removable drive. If the OP wants a different behavior or override
the normal Windows behavior, the OP is going to need to reinstall/update
whatever program or file caused the change to begin with.
