Thanks Bill When you installed 64-bit Win 7, did you then install the chipset drivers for the motherboard, followed by any other drivers missing from the Win 7 DVD? if not, do so, then see what's up with the media reader. The rule of thumb when installing an OS from scratch is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS install motherboard chipset drivers immediately after installinmg the OS itself. If you already installed the chipset drivers and there are no other yellow exclamation points next to devices in the Device manager, your best bet is to determine the manufacturer of the controller chip in the 9-in-1 media reader, then see of the mfr has a 64-bit Win 7 driver. ....

Ben Myers Will try what they gave me and see what happens. They do not have any updates for my motherboard on the web site since my purchase, but will check back with them in the event they have not yet been posted Thanks |

Ben Myers Didn't need their driver after all. Seems like Windows 7 doesn't show unoccupied removable/portable drives in explorer like Vista did. I popped in a media card and it read it. There is an option in folder settings to show unoccupied drives and I unchecked it so on next boot I will see if it shows up. Bill |

Bill "Seems like Windows 7 doesn't show unoccupied removable/portable drives in explorer like Vista did." Kinky. Also a step backward from all the previous Windows versions going back almost forever... Ben Myers |
