    That is a little odd with the card reader plugged in what happens if you let it go through the driver searching process ?

    If the card reader shows up as an unknown device have you tried going into Windows update and checking to see if an optional update is listed this is usually a driver.

    Is your account an admin account ?

    Who makes the readers as I have two one from Belkin and the other from Sandisk & both work fine with my Vista laptop.

    Crikey that is a weird one :confused:

    Well it may be worth picking up a Belkin reader if that is the case as no problems and it is correctly detected as a USB 2 hub as well.

    One other thing you don't have an NVIDIA chipset do you and 1-2GB of RAM ?

    Well you've made more progress on the problem than I have only other suggestions I could make are;

    * Try clearing the CMOS.
    * Try plugging the reader into a different USB port.
    * Try removing the USB controllers in the device manager and let it re-install the driver.
    * Try Intel chipset drivers for Vista.

    Thanks for all the help I have saved the drivers for future use:

    Divx pro 6.5
    ImTOO DVD Ripper Platinum 4 divx failure
    WinAVI VideoConverter half worked because of divx codex failure
    InterVideo WinDVR 3 would not start
    VirtualDub could would not incode many plugins
    VLC worked after much configuations
    AVerTV Studio would not because of direct x 10


    Tv card would not work with windows media it did install a driver
    creative play centre no support for vista
    creative zen m player no vista support
    usb 2.0 card readers not working right
