sorry meant to say - windows 7 has the same driver already installed, it works fine with a clean install. i never uninstalled the hardware either, just did a clean install of windows 7 and all worked fine.
Interestingly, the fresh clean install of windows 7 solved this issue. Card reader works fine, machine starts up and shuts down without a hitch, and sleeps now. So the upgrade protocols seem to have been the culprit. Thanks for your posts!
thanks for your post! so your reader works without that particular driver? so if i uninstall the hardware, 7 might recognize the device after the uninstall? or do i misunderstand? sorry you had to go down this path, but thanks for your knowledge!
same problem in 2010 - better solution yet? same problem here with win 7 and multi-card reader. i can uninstall the hardware, but is there another better solution yet?
