Digital BW, The Print

I have always imported images by removing the card from the camera and 
putting it in a card reader, either the one built into my computer or a 
separate one  (both are USB devices.)  In desperation I found a USB 
cable for camera/computer hookup and tried it, but it didn't help with 
reading the funny file names.

I have never used Nikon software for anything, although, again in 
desperation to get this issue resolved, I found a disk with a 30 day 
trial of Capture 4 (which must have come with one of my Nikon digital 
cameras) and installed it - but it couldn't read any of the bad file 
names either.

As for the SanDisk recovery program, I found references to it, and did 
look through my file of software CDs to see if I had already one from 
SanDisk that might have had the recovery program on it.  But couldn't 
find one in my archives, and in the course of looking for the program 
online came across a screen that said it was no longer supported by 
SanDisk and gave a link to some other company for support.  So I stopped 
looking at that point.

Cheers,
Kip
