1375112 2014-05-17 03:33:00 What kind of card are you using??

If it's an SDHC card, does the reader support SDHC cards??

Whats the brand/model of this computer?

If the above doesnt apply, take it back and tell them to make sure it works, before you take it again

1375114 2014-05-17 04:56:00 The computer is from Mellennium it is asus. The card is a Lexar SDHC 8GB,i do not know what brand the reader is. the only reason I have not taken it back is I an out in the country and thought I would give the forum a go. kinloch (14004)
1375115 2014-05-17 05:07:00 Only reason I can think of, if it cant or wont read it, is the card reader doesnt support SDHC

What does it do exactly when you put the card in it?? Nothing? An error comes up?

But it looks like it's a common prob. When you upgrade from 8 to 8.1.

Do the letters for the card reader appear in file explorer at all?? Or does it appear in device manager?

1375116 2014-05-17 06:10:00 It does not show in this PC, if I put a flash drive in it shows then. The letters are all showing device manager and the drivers are all up to date. a dicksmith external multi card reader works fine. kinloch (14004)
1375117 2014-05-17 06:41:00 From what I have read a card Reader connected by way of USB is not a problem,appears to be the onboard card readers in some comp's


The family member that had problems I advised to download from the camera through USB which went without a hitch

1375118 2014-05-17 07:40:00 Hi Lawrence, The camera UBS works fine, I just wondered if it is a windows problem or the type of card reader problem. I think the computer will be going back for them to sort out. kinloch (14004)
