Ideally she wants to view the images in windows gallery before importing. If she were to use another piece of software to do this I'd recommend Lightroom all day long over NX2. When you transfer to LR directly from an SD card it opens up the thumbnails and you can select which images you want to import, and it's very easy to import into specific folders on your hard drive. Obviously it's not free though, but only £8/month for the subscription.Yes, but it works ! ... it's easy to use and it will almost certainly sort out at least one of Esther's dilemnas as it's designed specifically for Nikon by Nikon.
Esther, try running View NX-i, the latest version, free download here :
http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Imaging-Software/ViewNX-i.html
When it has installed and running click on 'Transfer' at the top of the screen.
The program will find your camera or storage disk and display how many images there are on it.
Click on 'Start transfer'.
When the transfer has completed, depending on the screen view you choose, the images will open across the bottom of the screen as thumbnails and a large image above.
The images will also automatically transfer into your computer under 'Pictures > Nikon Transfer 2' and under 'Pictures > Image Backup'.
If you are shooting in NEF (RAW) you can also convert them to Jpegs in NX-i.
I would also recommend that you format your SD cards in camera before taking any photographs.
Hope this helps, I too only have a little more than beginner level knowledge of these things.
I still think it's just a matter of selecting the right viewing option for the method she already uses though.
