HiYa Guyz-n-Dollz
I gotta problem, I have the drivers for USB already, that Tom alluded to in another help topic, but it is not seeing my smart media card reader. I went out and bought another reader with the same results (well actually worse as it locked up the computer!) Please help I have alot of "stuff" lying around the house that I need to get rid of on eBay ...before the wife calls for a dumpster

==================================
Just wondering...what...exactly, happens when
you plug the card reader into your USB port?

When the card reader is connected...if you
go to...My Computer...does the reader show
up as a removable drive?

Sounds like your USB ports are not working...

Actually the keyboard and mouse are USB...no problem with
them. Did download the driver again just in case..to no
avail. This is not your run of the mill problem. Thanks
for the reply!

Is the card reader on a hub?

HiYa Cari and John
I have soved my problem, although it was a bodge job. I will guess I had a configuration error with my USB ports and they only wanted to work with the mouse and keyboard. What I ended up doing was add a USB card, problem solved at least for me. Can't understand why, but hey I get to see my kids pictures and sell the stuff on eBay before the wife just tosses it
Thanks alot for your help, all the advice led me to the solution that worked
Thanks Again
