Trouble copying/moving .nef files

Set your camera to be recognized as a mass storage device, then plug it to the computer. Windows will recognize it as such (mass storage) and open a window with the contents (or you might have to do it yourself from the "My computer" window). Try to copy the files from the camera to the computer directly. It should work much faster. If that is the case, then I would blame either the memory card reader, NX, or both!
