I love vista 64 but...

I don't understand why people don't like vista. I have had less issues with my vista than I ever did with my xp. Anyway I do have two issues that maybe someone can help me with.
First, I have a card reader that is hooked up to the usb internal port. I can read sd cards etc. with it. My problem is that if I take out the card and then want to put it back in later the card reader goes away out of my view window under my computer. I then have to unplug my card reader from my mother board and then get lucky and log off and log back in or sometimes have to restart to get it to work and show up again. Does anyone care to comment on this?

My second problem is that if I put in a cd or dvd it will not auto play. I have to go into my computer and double click or go to media player and whatever player I decide and hit play. Any more comments?

Thanks.

I've been using a 3.5" FDD/USB card reader combo device for 2-3 years on WinXP Pro. Occasionally, the OS "loses" the card reader drives. In this case, the solution has been to turn off the computer first, then the power supply (usually a rocker-type switch). Wait about ten seconds, then turn the power supply back on. After re-booting, everything is back on my system. Give it a try...
