Hello everyone,
My notebook has an integrated 6 in 1 card reader, after reading from a SD card I use for my Digital camera I must safely remove hardware device in order to get it back. So my problem is that when I want to read again from the card my pc doesn’t find it. I can see in the device manager this yellow exclamation mark under USB Mass Storage device and a message saying about “safe removal” (code 47). I’ve tried putting the card in the slot and afterwards select scan for new hardware but without any luck. The only way is to restart, until I safely remove hw again. Is this a windows xp bug? A driver issue? How can this be fixed (if it can)?
My other questions has to do with my laptop performance. It has an integrated Ati Radeon 9600 Pro with 128MB (M10). Should I stick with the manufacturer drivers or try some catalysts in order to improve performance?
Could the sound system holding it back a little? It’s a Realtek AC’97 with Max Supported Hardware Sounds:17 and EAX supported but I see in HALO that I cannot enable Hardware Sound at all.
Here are some benchmarks in order to give you an idea: Quake3 Arena:198fps, 3DMark2001~9800, 3DMark2003~2930, Aquamark3:22,830 and Unreal Tournament: Flyby~138fps, Botmatch~64fps.
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
