I gave my brother the card reader with my old digital camera. now for the problem he is running a hp computer like my old one I had the card reader on it down loads the software for the reader ok but when I insert the card it don't open.

Mike,

For some reason my card reader won't see the disk unless I have it in the card reader when I boot the PC up. I also had trouble loading my card reader software. Sent the vendor a email and told me to go into the Device Manager and see if the device for the card reader had a yellow exclamation next to it. If so delete it, reboot and windows will reinstall it again. Do this by memoryand my memory sucks so if I think of it when I go home I'll see if I have the email.

When you say it won't open, are you saying that a window will not open with the contents of the card? That is a new feature with Windows XP. If you open My Computer, you should see the an option for a removable disk drive. That will be the memory card.

Dan,

Does Windows 2000 do the same thing? If I don't boot with the card in the card reader it doesn't show up in Explorer.
