My phone downloads 2 of every photo on my computer?

Every time I mount my X10 to download photo's, there's always 2 of each photo in the Gallery on my laptop.  I've checked the settings and all over google for an answer but to no avail.  It's not a huge deal but I have to go through all my photo's and delete the spare one, as it's annoying if i'm viewing them as a slideshow.  I'm not sure if it's the laptop or the x10 setting's but pretty sure it must be the x10.  Any Ideas?

Hi Bigne, what method are you using to try and transfer the files? If you are using the 'Transfer files' option which is available in a pop up screen you get when you first connect your phone, this may be why the files duplicate.

I'd suggest connecting your phone and following these steps instead:

My computer > Phone Card (May be listed as Memory Card) > Select DCIM (This will be all photo's taken with the phones camera) > Highlight the files you wish to copy > Right click > Select Copy.

You can now open a folder on your PC, right click and select Paste. This should only transfer the files you have selected across for you Slightly_smiling_Face
