362781 2005-06-10 17:49:00 Does windows XP require drivers inorder for card reader to operate?

I have a card reader that doesn't have a name and I can't find the driver for it..

Can anyone help?

Is there a generic driver?

362783 2005-06-10 19:34:00 All card readers I have installed have been USB under WINXP SP2. The reader gets picked up as a mass storage device and will show up as removable drives. Elephant (599)
362784 2005-06-10 23:03:00 If the above advice doesn't help, you may need to get the drivers. Maybe Everest (www.freedownloadscenter.com) may be able to identify the card reader.
Then browse on over to DriverGuide.com (http://www.driverguide.com/) and search their extensive database of drivers. Its free to join up and they don't spam your email box :cool:

362785 2005-06-10 23:35:00 Elephant is correct, just connect your Card Reader (presume it uses USB) and WinXP will automatically detect the device. You will find it listed under My Computer as a removeable Mass Storage Device. The drivers that are included with the card reader are for non-XP OS's and also give additional features such as which device is the CF slot, the SD slot etc under My Computer if it is a multi-card device.

I think the only thing the install did, was install icons for it, so I know what drive is for what slot.

And when u run My computer, it shows the icons for SD/MMC/MS/SM and CF cards.
