Must restart to use the SD card reader

Often, the card (pre-installed, internal) flash on my HP Pavilion reader refuses to recognize SD cards when I plug it into its slot. The only solution I've found so far is to reboot Vista.

Don't know if it would occur with other types of memory flash as I did not test it with. The external USB ports work fine with readers flash USB, printer, etc. so the problem seems to be specific to the card reader and is not a generic USB problem. Other debug info:

1. I have 2 SD cards. Both work 100% fine in my digital camera.

2. the USB connection and contact card reader seem ok.

3 device Manager says that all my USB-associated drivers are up to date.

Do not restart to solve a hardware problem, so I figure it's a driver or a matter of Vista. But I'm not sure where to go from here.

I got "the update does not apply to your system." (And FWIW, Windows Update says "Windows is up-to-date" and I have daily automatic update enabled.)

However, I have noticed a few related "what others are downloading" updates, which has successfully installed. (I have them below list reference of others.) The 3rd is USB driven.) I rebooted and you have tested on and off for a few hours now, and the problem has not recurred. If things remain that way, I'm going to 'mark as answer.

Thank you.

  • Tecra A5 - cannot use the SD card reader

    Last week I discovered that my Tecra A5 has a card reader to this topic! I downloaded formatter of SD and SD module on this site. I just tried to inseting a 2 GB card in and it has frozen and made the fan to become crazy. When I had managed to calm the computer down, I tried a 256 MB (also a different brand) twice and it froze both times.

    I would be grateful if someone could help me,

    Why you need to install the drivers? Your Tecra is not installed with the original Toshiba recovery image?

  • T500 must restart to recognize the PCIe card in an advanced docking station

    We have worked through most of the problems with the upgrade of T43 T500 (2055 model), but has this annoying issue.

    We have maps Matrox M9140 PCIe installed in the advanced dock (model 2503).

    All the drivers are installed and they work very well outside this question:

    When the T500 is turned on in the dock, it will boot to the LCD screen.

    Only after restarting the computer laptop in the dock it will boot to the attached monitors.

    After this reboot to the dock, you can restart the portable computer as often as you like and it will perform properly in the Matrox.

    As soon as disconnect you, he seems to "forget" the start the matrox.

    Every morning that dock us the computer, turn on them, when the bios password is requested press Ctrl-Alt-Del and the boots of laptop for the Matrox.  Not a failure critical, but boring to do every day.

    We tried all the display settings in the BIOS, boot to screen LCD/PCI, discrete/switchable graphics, etc.

    Any of these solve the problem.

    Of course it's a BIOS problem, because it never gets to the loading of the operating system.

    Thanks in advance for any response.

  • Satellite M70-375: where to find the SD card reader driver?

    Where can I find the drivers for the SD card reader? It is not in the list of all the drivers of the M70 series.

    I checked the s information about this device and it seems that the Satellite M70-375 has a number PSM70E-xxx.
    First you must choose the category good pilot because there are two sets of Satellite M70.
    In addition there is no own available SD card driver. You must install the driver cardbus.
    This driver is also responsible for the use of the SD card.

    Hello

    I see nothing unusual, except that there should be a "0001", or even "0002"...

    When you have made the registry change, you used the command line (Admin)?... the process may not work with the regular command prompt...

    Also, try to go to Device Manager, right click on your DVD drive, click on uninstall and restart.

  • My Satellite A100 does not support SDHC cards with the internal card reader

    Hello

    My Satellite A100 can't stand my sandisk 4 GB SDHC.
    'normal' SD cards are not a problem with the internal card reader, and there is no problem with the 4 GB sandisk SDHC card using an external card reader.

    is there a software solution?

    regrads,
    Itock

    I don't have the time to read the manuals for your model of laptop users, but can be registered to all supported cards. I guess SDHC not registered and not supported.

    I don't know what you mean with the software solution, but as far as I know, update for multimedia card reader is not available.

  • Satellite L750 - stuck on the Realtek card reader

    Hello

    I just got a Toshiba Satellite L750 / 00K and I turned it on for the first time. He asked about the recovery and I chose 64-bit, and then on the settings in the box. It restarted once then I left it to charge. I came back and he was stuck on the Realtek card reader. It has been like this for maybe 2 hours, I can move the mouse but nothing has changed. He said that commissioning could take some time but I don't know if something is wrong. Help, please!

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Installation of recovery can take a very long time. In your case I'd wait a bit more.

    If it helps doesn t you should try to start installing recovery again. You can do this if you access Windows Advanced Boot menu and select Repair my computer.

    Recently updated for Windows 10 and since then had to install several new drivers.  Last attempt is for the sd card reader driver.  Same error comes back constantly, "HP is experiencing difficulties, please try again later".  Day 3 same error.  I talked to my son-in-law who is a COMPUTER expert and he warns of the use of other than original manufacturers drivers, so I'm stuck, zusammenklappbar to transfer my photos from sd card on my computer.   When I called HP support, I am told that they can help for a one time fee $50, something I'm not willing to do, I'll buy another computer before going this route

    Hello:

    It is not not a 3rd party driver.

    There is no driver W10 from HP for your PC.

    The reader of card on your PC was manufactured by Realtek, so that they provide the drivers for HP.

    It is a universal driver that works on all card readers.

    If you're skeptical, then see if this W10 card reader driver HP works.  It can not, because it can be for different model Realtek card readers that your PC has.

  • I tell Lightroom to use the graphics card in my new laptop?

    I have a new laptop and have managed to transfer my photos, the catalog and LR parameters everywhere.

    There better than my previous specifications, including a decent (I think!) dedicated graphics card.  I have integrated graphics before so don't know how it works.  I must say applications, such that Lightroom, to use the graphics card, or it will be automatically be done by the software/operating system?  If I don't need to do something, it's to each software (like Lightroom), the parameters of the computer, or in some third-party control software?

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Now Lightroom doesn't take advantage of the features in higher-quality graphics cards. It remains to be seen if that change at some point in the future.

  • If I buy a T-Mobile unlocked iphone7, can I use the sim card by carrier other than T-mobile on the iphone7? Because I travel abroad from time to time, I wonder if the unlocked Tmobile iphone7 accept any sim card when I am abroad

    If I buy a T-Mobile unlocked iphone7, can I use the sim card by carrier other than T-mobile on the iphone7? Because I travel abroad from time to time, I need to use another sim card when I'm outside of US. So if I order a T-mobile unlocked iphone7, he will accept my sim card from a foreign carrier? In addition, he will accept my 2nd sim card which is Sprint (my sprint sim card is not related to a device)?

    Sprint is NOT a GSM carrier. They are a CDMA carrier.

    Probably not. Most of the devices sold it disabled permanently, although some carriers may allow it. No one could be sure here. And it is only when you are in this local geographical situation. Ask the carrier.
