2 Gig SD card issue resolved?
Greetings.
I'm using Vista Ultimate 64 bit, SP1, and my multi SD card reader can't read 2 gig cards. It can read other cards with less than 2 gig. With the 2 gig card it just sits and tries to read it, doing nothing at all, no offer to format or even open a window to view. I've seen many others that have this issue. Has this been fixed to anyone's knowledge? Thanks in advance. -Mark |

Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card
and read "Compatibility issues with 2 GB and larger cards". Your issue is due to your hardware limitation and not with Windows Vista. You'll need to purchase a more up-to-date memory card reader. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience - Windows Vista Enthusiast --------------------------------------------------------------- "Mark C" wrote in message ...

Carey, thank you for the response and the link. The link was unhelpful, my
card reader is a new model, and works in Windows XP but not Vista. Many other people have reported this issue in many other forums. "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote in message ...

I use 2GB and 4GB SD cards in my cheapo $5.00 memory card reader just fine.
What model of reader are you using? Does the memory card read fine in other readers on other computers (Vista or otherwise)? -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "Mark C" wrote in message ...

I am having the same problem. I have a Lexar 9-in-1 reader that will read my
2gb SD card on XP desktop but not on my Vista 64-bit laptop. I checked the Lexar site and my reader has the necessary drivers for Vista. I also checked the Panasonic site for 2gb compatibility with my camera and all is well. Vista will recognize every other SD card less than 2 gb. If someone has a fix please let me know.
