  I really hate to ask this, but here goes. Are you snapping the shutter before you try to advance?

Also, are you sure you're loading correctly? Minoltas have a gray piece on the bottom of the winding spindle with four slots in it. Each slot has a tooth at the bottom of it. Make sure that the film leader goes in the slot and past the tooth by at least one hole.

You must also make sure that the teeth on the film sprocket are going in the holes on the film.

Have fun and keep shooting,
Mark H.
