    I have three card readers and none of them will work with vista
    asking for drivers Of course did not come with any because they
    or ment to be windows usb 2.0 ready

    Any body else got this problem I know the cards work fine because I have

    That is a little odd with the card reader plugged in what happens if you let it go through the driver searching process ?

    If the card reader shows up as an unknown device have you tried going into Windows update and checking to see if an optional update is listed this is usually a driver.

    Is your account an admin account ?

    Who makes the readers as I have two one from Belkin and the other from Sandisk & both work fine with my Vista laptop.

    Crikey that is a weird one :confused:

    Well it may be worth picking up a Belkin reader if that is the case as no problems and it is correctly detected as a USB 2 hub as well.

    One other thing you don't have an NVIDIA chipset do you and 1-2GB of RAM ?

    Well you've made more progress on the problem than I have only other suggestions I could make are;

    * Try clearing the CMOS.
    * Try plugging the reader into a different USB port.
    * Try removing the USB controllers in the device manager and let it re-install the driver.
    * Try Intel chipset drivers for Vista.

    Thanks for all the help I have saved the drivers for future use:

    Things I could not get working under vista

    Divx pro 6.5
    ImTOO DVD Ripper Platinum 4 divx failure
    WinAVI VideoConverter half worked because of divx codex failure
    InterVideo WinDVR 3 would not start
    VirtualDub could would not incode many plugins
    VLC worked after much configuations
    AVerTV Studio would not because of direct x 10


    Tv card would not work with windows media it did install a driver
    creative play centre no support for vista
    creative zen m player no vista support
    usb 2.0 card readers not working right
    cannon digital camera would not work same problem as card reader
