My 512 mb compact flash memory card is messed up. It won't work in my camera (a Canon s500), but it will show the pictures that are on it when I insert it into my computer. I put the same memory card into my dad's camera (another Canon model), and it worked just fine. I've tried reformatting the card, but nothing works. Help!
Re-format it within the camera or in Windoze to FAT 16

Unless you have tried other cards in that camera and they worked, I would guess that the camera may be the problem rather than the card. Get a torch and have a look into the card drive on the camera and try to see if any of the pins are bent. That'd be my first thought.
