card reader and errors
Toshiba a305-6905 3gb laptop. 1.5 years.
All of a sudden I stick a Sony memory stick and a I tried a filled sd card to ensure it wasn't one of the either and regardless I get an error. Shows up when inserted on my computer but no pics will be displayed because it says the media card needs to be formatted first even with pics on it. So I played along and let the computer tried to format the card and it computer is unable to format. Storage on portable media is not in the lock position. Pics will show up on camera and printer so I know this is computer related only. Shows up on device manager as Ricoh memory stick, says it has the latest driver. I will go for a usb card reader if necessary. Before spending $20 anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am the administrator. Just started just like that but I could be wrong, don't remember at the time, but I think it started happening after the computer awoke from sleep mode. I use Vista 32 bit. Avast and Malwarebytes installed along with CC cleaner programs. Defender is off. Help? I would be willing to call you or vice versa to see if you are familiar with the repair trying to fix over the phone. thanks, Bruce or is this something where I have the wrong sharing settings-what a pain- xp was better. I am not a computer guru obviously so please make it is simple to understand. |

Have you installed any driver updates via MSUpdate?
Review your update history if unsure. If you have, reinstall drivers from Tosh site, specific to your model "iluv my kitties and family" wrote in message ... Toshiba a305-6905 3gb laptop. 1.5 years.
