Default 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.

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, 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.

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)?

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.
