I have two computers, both running WinXP SP3. On my old one, I've beenAs Dave said, the continuous numbering is usually handled by the camera
using Dell Image Expert to download photos from my Canon camera, which
I then copy to my other computer (as a kind of backup). Each time I
download more photos, Dell continues the numbering of the JPGs, using
the format IMG_111.JPG.
Today, for the first time, I tried downloading photos directly to my
new computer, which doesn't have the Dell program on it. Using
Microsoft Office Picture Manager, I could "name" the images (so
presumably I can use the same system Dell does). However, the images
are numbered from the beginning. Is there a way I can continue the
numbering--say, by stating the first number and then asking for
consecutive numbering from that point on? I checked the Help file but
didn't see anything obvious. I'm hoping there's a general rule for
consecutive numbering of photos from a certain point--one that would
work with any of the photo programs.
Thank you!

(one exception is a Fuji FinePix S602Z I own). Is it possible for you
to install the Dell Image Expert software on your new computer? That
way you'd be using a program you are already familiar with to download
the pictures.
Just a thought,

program for my new computer, since it doesn't come with it.

Menu, Tools (looks like a wrench and hammer), there's a setting for File
Numbering. The choices are Auto Reset and Continuous. I have mine set to
Continuous and after I offload my pix, the next picture I take continues
the numbering from the last one I offloaded. Maybe yours is similar?

numbering of the downloaded photos. But you've convinced me that I should
look at the software that came with the camera. I'll bet it allows
continuous numbering--and I could install it on both computers.

As Sunny replied, that was the point I was trying to get across- no matter
where I download my pictures, whether it's my notebook or home PC, the
pictures will always have a different sequential number than anything I've
already saved. Like Sunny, I don't use any software; I just plug in the SD
card on my notebook, or attach the camera with the USB cable to my home PC
and save them all. I do a lot of tennis events, so a lot of pictures are
taken every day. At the end of each day or two, I download the pictures to a
folder with the event name, such as My Documents\My Pictures\Family Circle
Cup 2009. If the last picture I off-loaded was DSCF2460.JPG, the next
picture taken will automatically be DSCF2461.JPG whether there are any
pictures on the camera or not. I have never used any camera software for any
camera I've owned; it just doesn't seem necessary. The pictures are already
pre-numbered, and I don't need to waste time messing with it.
