Internal card reader not working

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

i have a new mesh computer with a 7 in 1 internal generic card reader.When i
look in my computer i see the card reader there as removable media.When i
insert my sony momory card into the slot the computer seems to think about
it for a minute or so then the removable media icons just dissapear.The only
way i can then get photos off my camera is with the usb cable sipplied.How
can i get this reader to work as it should.I must also say i have the same
problem with the front mounted usb ports as well!

Thanks for the help

Cheers

DL's suggestion is not necessarily inapppropriate. It may even help the
manufacturers get their act together and stop selling non-working
hardware.

Other than that, determine the type of reader you have and try to
locate the most recent drivers for it. Just because you bought the
computer recently does not mean that the most recent versions of
everything was included - often it is not! This is how I solved (most
of) my reader problems.

Also, you may want to play with the "Write Caching" "Safe Removal"
options than hang off the device's properties pages, as I've seen this
make a difference in the behaviour of this type of devices.
