Thought Dolly what operating system are you using? If it is pre XP you often need to install a driver for card reader to work.
Has the driver got corrupted or have you rebuilt the system since you last used the reader and not re-installed the driver for the card reader?
GIGGITY GIGGITY!!!
nothing has changed that I am awre of - I last used it right before Oliver Died(that was December12). I can still read the other drives for media. It is one of the hardware pieces rght into the unit at the front, llike a CD opening. It can take 8 different cards in the 5 slots
I have XP home
