| Anyone have issues with SD card reader and Vista?
I have a nGear internal card reader. It's plugged in and the usb part on the reader works, but the SD slot doesn't seem to work.
So I spent a couple hours reading through forums, seems like it's a known Vista issue with SD cards 1 gig and bigger.
I found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939772
and tried to install it, but it says I'm already up to date.
Does anyone have a working SD card reader on their comp while running Vista 64?
Thanks

Yeah mine only works when plugged into the camera.
My internal one doesn't work.
The whole point of the card reader was so I didn't have to pull out a USB cable everytime to upload. Doh.
Thanks for your input. Are you using an external or internal card reader? Which brand?

it could be ur card reader is usb 1.1? i used to have this old ass usb card reader and it wouldnt read my 8GB SDHC cards, then my friend bought me a cheap ass but nice looking car reader from hk that is for sure USB 2.0 and it can read my SDHC cards no problem. oh ya mine is external, i dont like the internal ones.

This is the one I have.
nGear Flash Card Reader 3.5IN Internal USB Black CF/SM/SD/MMC/MS/XD 18IN Cable http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...ogies%20Inc%2E
Pretty sure its USB 2.0
I didn't buy that long ago. Maybe within a year.

Your problem could be you have an SD reader but your card is SDHC. They are not the same (tho they look the same)

Nothing to do with USB 1.1/2.0, but everything to do with whether the reader supports SDHC. Original SD spec only allowed up to 2GB, thus *ALL* cards >2GB are SDHC by definition. Just because it's a "new" reader doesn't mean anything - look at a-power.com, only a few of the SD-capable readers they list support SDHC.

They are. SDHC is a different spec... hence you need to make sure your card reader supports it
