Memory Card Reader Problems
Are there any known compatibility problems with memory card readers?
While running Win 7 Beta, my SD card reader worked fine. Since installing RC, it does not. The system detects that a card is inserted into the slot and demands a format. After trying to format the device I get an error message that Windows was unable to perform the format (no, the card is not write protected).
I've tried several SD cards (2 2-gig and a 4 gig) and none work, although they do work (without a format) in other devices, such as a digital camera.
So either I have a hardware problem with the card reader (always possible, but it's only 6 months old) or there's a problem with Windows 7 RC reading and writing to the card. Device Manager says the device is there and working correctly.

Memory Card Reader Issue
I have a Memory card reader and on the windows explorer it shows all the card slots as drives. Is it possible for it to only show the slot that has media in (dare I say, like a mac)? The same with my optical drives, is it possible to 'hide' them only showing when they have mounted a an item of optical media? Or is this just pipe dreams, and only the preserve of unix based systems?

Win 7 Not Recognizing Internal Memory Card Reader
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. I have 4 USB ports in the back which are connected to my printer, mouse, keyboard and external hard drive which are all functioning fine. I have two USB ports on the front which are unoccupied. I have an internal memory card reader in this desktop, and that's the only thing I think it can be. To resolve the problem it is asking me to reconnect the device or replace it. I have disconnected and reconnected th memory card reader while the pc was on, the pc recognizes a device has been disconnected and reconnected, but not what it is. Under device manager, it says, "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" I have therefore disabled it for now, but would like to get it working. Do you think this problem wil be fixed automatically in an update sometime. When I go to driver details, it says "No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device" And when I click on update driver, it says I have the latest driver.

Wakes From Standby Doesn't Recognise USB Memory Card Reader
Most times when waking from a standby, the machine finds new hardware (a USB media card reader) and says it cant load drivers for it. It has a yellow (!) on in under Device Manager. I restart the computer and everything is back to normal. How can I stop this from happening? This is on a preconfigured HP M9340F machine.

HP Nw8000 SD Card Reader
I'm running Windows 7 RC on HP nw8000 and I'm pretty sure the card reader worked ok on Vista Ultimate 32. Has anyone found a driver for the built-in SD card reader? HP doesn't list anything past XP on their site, not even for Vista for this device for this notebook.

USB All In 1 Mini Card Reader
I bought this Generic USB All in 1 Mini Card Reader off eBay (Some Cheap chinese thing) It worked fine on my previous setup, Windows Vista x64, and it still works on my fathers computer, Vista x64 I believe. But When I try to connect it to my current Windows 7 x64 install, it justs gives me an I/O device error, I think it might have something to do with the Device driver for Win 7 It might not be compatible, I don't know just thought somebody might have an idea if I can get it to work in Windows 7.

Ricoh SD/MMC Card Reader
on my laptop (ASUS Z91N), I've got one left driver issue: the integrated memory card reader. It's called Ricoh SD/MMC controller, the latest driver having the best behavior found is 2003-10-20 (1.4.2.9) from ASUS website for WinXP. All other drivers found does nothing, they install but when I plug the card, nothing appears in "My computer". The problem is that when I plug a SD card, windows detects it, assigns a letter, but I am unable to open to look at the files. I get "Access denied" every time. When I try to format, it does it with the good size detected! I tested by looking with another computer. So, this problem is weird, I never had any issue similar to that in the past. Anybody here having the same problem?

Realtek Card Reader Not Recognized
I've got an Acer 5735z laptop with a Realtek card reader, it was working fine under vista. I loaded up Windows 7 on a fresh install and all was well. I noticed it had install a generic driver for the card reader, so i updated the driver with the correct version from Acer. This was couple weeks ago and everything seemed fine until today, when I noticed the laptop now doesnt recognise the card reader. It doesnt even show up as an unknown device in device manager, it like it doesnt exsit. Ive downloaded the recent drivers for vista/windows7 to no avail. I've also tried unstalling the Intel usb contollers and even going back to the original version of the drivers again to no avail... the only thing i can think of is reverting back to the generic drivers supplied with Windows7, but i dont know where there located on the disk or on microsoft.

Smart Card Reader Issues
This is the only major showstopper for me in using Seven 95% ActivIdentity USB Reader V2 ActiveClient 6.1 Both work fine in Vista 64 on the same box in dual boot. In Vista the driver used is the generic MS usbccid.sys driver version 6.0.6001.18000 dated 6/1/2006 In Seven there are 4 MS drivers all version 6.1.7000.0 dated 6/21/2006: - scfilter.sys - WUDFUsbccidDriver.dll - winusb.sys - WUDFRd.sys In Device Manager status I get the "This device Cannot Start. (code 10)" message. If I uninstall the device and plug it back in I can see that Windows sees an ActivCard USB reader V2 (shows up in "Other Devices" while drivers are trying to install) but the install fails for the Microsoft Usbccid smartcard Reader (WUDF). I have tried the latest drivers to no avail.

Scanner And Card Reader Are Not Working
after installing Windows 7 I've installed a chip card reader (SCM Microsystem SPR 532) and a scanner (Canon Lide 9). Both were working fine for a few hours. But now none of them is working anymore. The Device Manager shows me that both devices are working properly but I neither can scan nor use the card reader for online banking. I tried to reinstall the drivers but this didn't help. Does anyone has a clue about this strange behavior?

Dell 2407 Monitor Card Reader
Has anyone gotten a card reader built into a dell monitor to show up in Windows 7? I got any and all updates to Win 7 I could find. I installed the latest Vista chipset drivers for my motherboard, and also tried some drivers from Intel. The Memory card reader just does not show up at all. There is also a memory card reader built into the printer and it works fine. At one point there were Dell SM bus drivers available as an optional update. I tried installing them, but they failed. Now, just yesterday they no longer show up in Windows update.

Access Denied - SD/MMC Card Reader
I have a problem with my card reader. I have a S260(MS-1012) from MSI and it's integrated card reader (a Ricoh Bay1 Controller). It doesn't work well. Windows 7 install it and "Equipo" (i'm spanish, in english "Computer"?) recognize it. But when i try to open my sd card it says "Acess Denied". The same if i try to open it from command. PD: I try with different sd cards and mmc cards. I reinstalled the drivers from my drivers CD (from windows xp but work well in 7).

Shuttle Card Reader PC 23 (USB) - Error Code 10
I have tried several times to use my Shuttle Card Reader (PC23) that is connected to my mainbord on a free internal extended USB connector. Error message : Error Code 10 - can`t use device. If I insert a SD Card in the SD slot on the Card Reader, and use the hardware trobleschooting in Windows 7 RC : Win 7 can reconise the SD Card and I can use it, but only during the session. Next time i start the system I have the same error as before. For this 4 in one Card Reader there is no Driver for Win XP or Vista nesesary, so i think there normally no driver needed for Windows 7 RC either.Â

Broadcom USB Smart Card Reader Not Working
After upgrading my Vista Business SP2 (32-bit) to Windows 7 Ultimate RC (32-bit) my Broadcom USB smart card reader does not work any longer (Dell Latitude E6400 with built in smart card reader). The newest available driver from dell support was already tested (Broadcom, driver date 09/23/2008, version 1.0.0.1, digitally signed WHQL, released by dell in March 09), but the device can not start (Error code 10) with Windows 7. With the Microsoft WUDF Driver (Usbccid, driver date 06/21/2006, version 6.1.7100.0) the device starts but whenever I insert my smart card an additional device is detected (other device - smart card) but no driver found - Error message is: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). What else can I try to get this reader working again (with vista sp2 the smart card reader was working fine with the broadcom driver)?

Dell USB Card Reader Not Working Properly
I have a Dell XPS Studio 435T that was running Vista Home Prem. 64 bit. My card readers were labeled G:, H:, I:, and J: and were there when I got the machine. C: and D: are the Dell Vista Home Prem. 64 bit OS and the Dell Restore partition, E: and F: are my DVD drives. These drives always appear. The system was built early May and was the A07 BIOS. When I needed to read an SD card, I plugged the card into the proper slot, nothing happened? Discovered the drive was NOT on Explorer nor COMPUTER desktop icon when double clicked. I have a Canon printer with card slots, put the card in the printer after I turned it on and I can read the card, so it isn't the card (unless the 435T's slot can't read 8GB SD cards). I don't get any errors when starting the system and nothing apparent in the Event Viewer. I called Dell figuring they'd be aware of this problem and have a suggestion. Wrong, they claim it isn't a common problem and is either a h/w problem or I 'did something' to the system that caused this. Suggested fix was to restore the system to the shipped state and I was not too happy about that. The Rep. then agreed to get on my system and look at it. I showed him the drives and the Device Manager that had an 'Unknown Device' and that it had no driver. I showed him that when I tried to update the drive it said I had the correct driver. I deleted that device and then had Device Manager search for changes and it found the same 'Unknown Device'. Now the Rep. thought I had a driver problem and proceeded to re-load the Intel Chipset drivers. I think I did replace those with more recent ones, but I let him. It installed INSTANTLY and the rep. said it meant I had the drivers installed... Checked the drives again, not there. Next step as for me to shut-off the system and restart into the BIOS screen and RESET the BIOS to the factory default. OK, but when the system booted, didn't do anything for the problem. Now the Rep. asked if I could open the case and check the cables to the reader bar. This was after he came back on-line after checking what to do next. By this time I decided I wanted to try something, I have a USB single card reader. I put the SD card into it and inserted it into the card readers USB connector. It found the device, although it didn't assign a drive? Put that same device into the USB connectors behind it and it had the same results but the Rep. was now convinced I had power to the card reader and wouldn't need to open the case. I then used a real USB Flash drive, put that in the card bar and it worked and could be read (and the Rep. wanted to connect and open the flash drive to be sure, which I allowed). So, the Rep. wants to REPLACE the h/w. From the reports I've seen, this is a waste of time. His response was he's never seen other reports of this failure and my only other choice is to restore Vista to the shipped state. So I OK'ed the h/w replacement. I know I've seen the drives as recently as 2 weeks ago. I was surprised one day when I opened Explorer and saw additional drives and then determined they were the card slots. As suddenly as they appeared, a few days later they were gone. Dell eventually replaced the device, cable from motherboard to it, and even the motherboard. In all cases, replacing that component had the card slots reappear on boot, only to disappear sometime later. This had been ongoing since July when I first discovered the problem. Only after I installed Win7 was the true problem discovered. I had a random BSOD under Vista with DVD Flick. Not often, but it happened. All I had to do was re-boot and it worked fine. Assumed it was a memory problem. After installing Win7 and booting after a BSOD from DVD Flick Win7 reported a USB device was not working properly and showed a list of USB devices. The suggestion, unplug and re-plug the device and if it didn't fix it, replace the device. Well, looking in Explorer, the card slots were gone. Unplugged the cable and put them back in (case had to be opened to do this) and booted, problem was gone. I've since removed DVD Flick and the problem has not come back. So, the question is why wasn't the USB port working properly? I assume an initialization problem, and I see a HOTFIX was just released for Nvidia systems with 4GB's of memory and USB devices stop working so I wonder if the USB drivers could be at fault here?

Acer Aspire M3641 Card Reader Problem
I have the Acer Aspire M3641, with Nvidia MCP73 Chipset, Intel Quad core 2.4ghz, 4gb ram. The internal multi card reader used to work well on Vista before update to Win 7 x64 and now it appears in Device Manager under USB category as "Unknown Device". When clicking on properties it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43 )". Under Hardware ID it just says USB/Unknown . - I've installed the latest motherboard driver from Nvidia's website for nForce 7 series and still no luck. - I've installed the hotfix for the USB problem for this particular chipset (as discussed thoroughly in another thread, see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprohardware/thread/38f25c1d-de67-4c74-8845-2cd3a15d8e41/ ) because it had that problem. - I've uninstalled it from device manager and clicked to scan for hardware changes and it only showed up again as unknown device. - I've tried "update driver" and search online automatically. No luck. Now, Acer's website has no driver for the card reader and I have no information as to what is the specific hardware manufacturer. The other USB connected devices are a USB logitech camera that works without a hitch, an external HD Seagate freeagent 1TB, a printer and mouse. Update: The latest discovery is that when the desktop is shut down, then UNPLUGGED from the wall, wait about 30 secs, plugged back and turned on, the card reader is recognized, functioning and all is dandy. After a few reboots, sleep/resume cycles, the USB is back to it's unknown state with code 43. What do I do now?
