San Disk Flash Card, Digital Camera Picture Retrieval Problem

A client has a Kodak DX6440 camera.  The pictures show up in the camera and can be copied onto the computer if the camera is put on the docking station.  If the camera is attached to the computer with just a USB cable the card shows up, the folders on the card can be seen, but the pictures don't show up.  If the card is put into a card reader the pictures show up but are corrupt, unreadable.  The card reader is a no name 4 in one type (4 different sized slots, each slot shows up as a different drive) that is hooked up to a server so that it can be used by anyone in the office.  The card reader works fine on compact flash cards.

My questions are:
Why is this happening?
What is the best way to resolve it so that everyone can easily get pictures off the camera?

In the camera menu you will find the option to format the card. This should solve the problem. Did for me.

A new card reader solved the problem.  I split some points to Cyber-Dude because I think he's right about the camera not having enough power without the dock.
