Im running an e-machines pc complete with intergrated card reader on
Vista Home edition 32bit.
I had no problem with the card reader until one day I thought i'd
safely eject the card, big mistake since then the computer has been
claiming not to see the card at all.
The card option is still visable via My computer but is greyed out as
to say there is nothing inserted, i've tried 3 sd cards now (2gb, 64mb
and 128mb) with the same conclusion thinking it was a problem I
installed all service packs and updates and even resorted to
re-installing the hardware twice using the backup drivers on the
hard-drive and also off the manufacturers website but still to no avail,
Device manager says its installed with a generic SD card reader but the
item remains to be greyed out, the computer recognizes its plugged it,
the green light lights up when inserted and I get the little egg times
type thing for a second or 2 but still have no access.
Has this happened to anyone else before and if so how did you resolve
it, personally I hate vista for these small reasons but its not my pc
and needs to be sorted otherwise the other half is going to do bad
things to me, any help appreciated
