What program? Can you see the SD card when you look a the memory screens? Can File Explorer see the card and the files on the screen? We need a little more information to help you.

Some programs just don't want to be anyplace but Main Memory. That Schumacher racing game did that to me when I tried to put it on the SD card. The developers said it was the first fatal exception they'd ever seen.

Check Here for some good info on FAT for different size drives, and other stuff you always wanted to know.
