Nikon D60 and Sandisk 4GB Ultra II

Vista Ultimate does not seem to recognize and/or accept my new Nikon D60
camera. Thus I can't transfer the pictures from the camera to the PC.
(Connection software installed, card changed to a 2GB, doesn't work either -
but works with my coolpix cam)
I use a Sandisk SD card - 4GB ultra II, with a Micromate usb adapter - which
is not recognised neither in the camera nor in the adapter nor in the
pc-cardreader. (was supposed to be hotfixed with Vista's SP1)
Both manufacturers don't supply drivers - I looked everywhere on the
internet...

I hoped both would be PnP...

grateful for help
