Can't find my Card Reader or driver
I have a built-in card reader in my laptop. However, I can only see it
in Device Manager if I have a card inserted. I am having trouble as, when I insert a card, the card reader isn't showing up - so I can't check the driver because I can't find it. I changed it recently to the most updated, digitally signed driver. Can someone help?

I should have replied that I'm not sure (when the card reader is recognized). However, right now, it is not recognized and therefore does not have a drive letter. It has always worked this way. If I look at the screen that shows the drives, the card reader will show up as soon as I place a card in the reader. Without the card, the reader is invisible. Same with the Device Manager.

All USB "Mass Storage Devices" such as memory card readers, are Plug 'n Play by the OS with internal drivers and not requiring third paty drivers to recognize trhe hardware. Right-Click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage" Go to "Disk Management" Look for "Removable" devices and check what drive letters are assigned. See if you can change drive assigments. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Can't find my Card Reader or driver
Dave, I can't find the Card Reader in the disk management section.
However, there is a drive letter (H) missing in the sequence (I have C,D,E,F,I). On Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:54:32 -0500, "David H. Lipman" wrote: From: | On Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:02:11 -0500, "David H.

If it is NOT there there are few possiblities... The memory card reader is not connected to the port (USB ?). It is internal on a laptop - so I don't know. The memory card is bad. No, tried two memory cards with the same results. Both memory cards work in my camera. The interface is bad. Do you mean the driver? If so, that's what I'm assuming because I upgraded it to one that was digitally signed. However, I can't find it to roll it back.
