XP Update- now USB smartcard reader won't get recognized

[Anon y mous]

I just updated some windows updates from MS (download site)

Now my usb smartmedia card reader will not get recognized by the computer.

I have tried repeatedly to unplug- change locations (front and rear USB
ports)

No recognition- don't even see it pop up on the task bar.

Any one know what's going on with Winders XP updates?- Seems like the
culprit.

Thx

My memory stick will not read either- power light comes on- but no auto
window opens- when I open it- I get an error message- referring to a
location that is unavailable!!!

Problem solved. Cold shutdown fixed it instead of the recommended "reboot"
your machine after Microsift got done with upgrading the machine.
