Are you using Vista or Windows 7?

On Windows 7, the default Windows Explorer option for removable
drives, other than CD / DVD or floppy drives, is to not "display"
empty drives.

Vista Home Edition...and if there isn't a card in the slot, no drive
shows. However, now, even with a card in the slot, no drive (card
reader) shows.

I may be beating a dead horse, but it really sounds like the onboard card
reader has met an unfitting end.
