Anyone on AIM want to help me trouble shoot my card reader?

[glen]

Bah...
I just got back from the NH Primary, and I cannot get my card reader to work.

If it is USB, unplug it and plug it back in.

Do this while the PC is on?

I think it was plugged into the wrong place on the MB.

Sure. USB is fine to unplug and plug in while the computer is on.

Win98? Yes.

2k and XP should recognize most if not all card readers on their own, though.

It should just appear in My Computer as an External Drive.

When the harware wizard comes up, tell it to search for drivers locally.

it could be broken; i had to RMA my siig CF reader because it wasnt working

you plug it in, it would install automatically (gooo xp) but after that, nothing. (no removable hd E🙂 tried in many comps, no go.
