Vista - micro SD problem

    I'm having issues with my new Micro SD USB 2.0. I recently purchased an R4 for my Nintendo DS and with it came a Micro SD USB 2.0 stick to place my Scandisk 2GB Micro SD in. When I insert the Micro SD USB into my USB ports (I tried all of them) a balloon pops up and says "USB Reader". After that the "Found New Hardware Wizard" prompts me and says that it needs to be installed. I tried going along with it (looks through Windows updates) but finds nothing and then a new balloon pops up saying Hardware installation error. My question is, how can I get it so that my computer can read my Micro SD USB 2.0 and do I need to download anything to get it to work? (No installation CD came with it so I figured it was not required to function) My OS is Windows Vista

    Any suggestions? Tried looking on scandisk site but it's useless

    What make is the SDCard reader do you have a link to the place you bought it from ?

    Try plugging in the reader without any SDCard in it.

    I have a Crucial one and it works just fine, miniSD, microSD, SDCard, SDHC cards all work in it.

    thanks for replies - it actually works fine with my mother's XP laptop so must be a vista issue, will look for an update - thanks again!
