No I cannot open the drive in Windows Explorer when the card is in the reader. I can open/view contents of the drive in Explorer when it is in the camera.
Does the reader give a drive letter when there is no card in the slot. Are you sure that when you are looking at the camera, in explorer, that you are looking at the card and not the internal camera memory?
In Explorer when reader in slot with no card - reads the same as when memory card is in reader - Removable Drive (E:)
In Explorer when camera is attached to slot, turned on with NO memory card in it - camera shows up as Portable Device (1) and camera indicates "no memory card".
So I do know that I'm looking at the images on the memory card - not the camera's internal memory.
Result: personal computer will only read the memory card when it is in the camera - but Recuva does NOT see the camera - just verified all this again and this is the status that I reported originally.
Next step??
As I stated above, I'm at the end of my suggestions, and think a format maybe your only recourse, problem is that with flash memory a format may cause the file not to be recoverable :-/ maybe someone else has some suggestions, but I can't think of anything else. also this was the first time you were clear that you were following what I said about recuva (and most/all similar non-specialized software)not being capable of interfacing with cameras).
The card sounds like either it is formatted in a non-standard way (usually it should be formatted as Fat32, exFat or NTFS) which causes windows to be unable to mount it; or that the. Card has gone bad.
Is there a coupon code to buy Recuva?
need to stay on topic @peterfan and that sounds like a job for Mr Google.
or check out the Piriform website, they sometimes have specials.
Yes - when the card is in the camera which means the card is not bad! Cannot view images on card when the card is in the reader.
I am unable to use Revuca Professional. I decided to purchase Recuve Professional to save some files that I had inadvertantly deleted from the MicroSD card in my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4). I have run Recuva Professional three times since yesterday's download, and the program has crashed exactly the same way each time after about 4 hours of searching for files, saying the program has "unexpectedly quit" during Step 2 (Analyzing Damage). This is unacceptable and certainly not worth the money, unless it works. I am using a Dell Laptop with Windows 10 and 6 gigs of RAM, and plenty of free space on my hard drive. I am attaching screenshots (in Word) that show the progress and the error messages. I would appreciate some guidance. I am unable to use Revuca Professional.

Please start your own thread, this thread is about Littleimp's issue.
Recuva is able to scan the deleted photos but when I saved them on computer, the photos are corrupted and can't be opened. What is the problem?
Well, who knows? Why not start your own thread with more info? It doesn't help having to wade through two pages of somebody else's two-year-old problem.
