Update Windows 7 breaks the card reader, causes random crashes

Hi all

I have a Satellite A500/026 that came with Windows 7 64 bit. Recently, I found only one) the card reader no longer works, and b) just after startup, I get an error message indicating that a component of software from Toshiba is broken down. Both developed these symptoms after a Windows Update, but I can't be sure that one.

The card reader works OK if I start a live CD of Ubuntu, but do not work on Windows, so I guess the problem is with a Windows driver that has been "updated" during a Windows Update.
Is there a set of drivers Toshiba I have to re - install after a Windows Update, or should I just wait that Microsoft fixes whatever-they-broke in whichever-update-it-was-that-broke-it?
Any other ideas?

Leigh.

Try to reverse both previous OS using System Restore tool and see if this will fix the problem.
For Windows update use important updates only. Do not install the updates options.

Do back the OS first and send feedback.

  • Cannot remove the Photos from an SD card in the card reader in Windows 7 error "is an error error application attributes - produced - the media is write protected."

    Please check the post from Jetta48 on this article, for the workaround to resolve your concern.

    Have a nice day ahead!

    I agree with you and think it had something to do with a Windows Update. I got this computer with Windows 7 for a couple of years and it took until this month I got the problem. Cannot delete the photos when the card reader is on a Windows 10 computer either.

  • Windows 7 64 bit without recognizing an SD card or SDHC card through the bult in the card reader.

    12/15/10 my computer Desk Top read SDHC and SD cards without problems through the media built in card reader, but the small import window to the lower right of the screen wouldn't do anything, I have to disconnect & reconnect to get rid of it.
    Then, on 18/12/10 if I inserted the card SD or SDHC card & NOTHING happen on the monitor. It was as if nothing was plugged. It would appear click on the Start button > computer as a removable storage but it wouldn't ask to import the photos. No window pop up or anything.
    If I have a SD or SDHC insert card in a USB adapter so that connected on a USB Port, it works fine. I tried with four different memory cards.
    Why the computer OS does not recognize that the inserted card & even the computer itself would know that it was inserted because there is a small light that flashes when something is plugged. But he doesn't want to import and MARK photos directly from the construction in the card reader?
    I was on the phone with gateway 3 times by train to update ALL the drivers & try the system restore on the eve of thatI know it actually worked.
    I even spent an hour and 45 minutes on the phone with a Tech. Microsft via the remote control and still could not solve the problem. Everyone wants to blame others, but I see a lot of people have very similar problems.
    My computer was purchased there are 4 1/2 months. It's a gateway FX6840-03e. It is a very powerful platform but suddenly something happened and now it will not import pictures from the card reader. I have to import via USB!
    The strange thing is that my sister told me that exactly the same thing happened to his computer about a week and half ago. It is configured to download & install updates automatically. I'm set up just to be notified to download and install myself.
    Why backup restore & would still work on a date that we both knew for positive that our computers were working very well?
    So we need help! Anyone have any solutions or suggestions? The only assistance we have received so far was "Re-install the entire operating system."

    Well Finally I found the problem of not being able to import images. After so much work and all try, same re-install windows7 operating system
    It turns out this is one brass bit inside the construction tabs in the card reader was not working properly! Just a. That's all it took. It would show that the card has been installed, the light on the computer itself would show a card has been installed, but he wouldn't ask to import.
    THANK YOU ALL for your help and suggestions! It was great.
    The computer is fairly new but it had a flaw inside the card reader. So, if anyone knows the same check the connection problem.
    Once again thatnk you for your help!

  • Photosmart 8450: Does the Photosmart 8450 under Windows 7 64-bit card reader work?

    Under Windows XP 32 bit card on my Photosmart 8450 network reader appeared as a network drive in Windows Explorer. Now that I've migrated to Windows 7 64 bit I get no network drive and if I put an SD card in the drive I get a 'map' mistake of access on the display panel. It is to be expected with the built-in drivers for Win 7? If so, is there no work around?

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply and sorry for not getting back sooner. Been strongly concerned about the end.

    I just find the solution to both problems.

    1. the card reader does not accept SD - HC cards. When I put an ordinary SD it worked fine.

    2 network drive mapping could not find the printer, even if I can print to it without any problems. I had recently also changed the router and discovered that the IP assigned to the printer was within the range of IP addresses assigned by DHCP. Changed static address to + 1.  Still did not work; posted in printer address was unidentifiable. Sitched printer, pulled ethernet cable outlet, turned on, plugged the ethernet cable. Bingo! The network drive works now.

  • Portege A600-175 - failed to start the card reader device

    I got a Portege A600-175 running windows XP SP3 with a problem in the card reader device. Insert an SD card, it makes the sound that USB devices usually do when inserted (and also when it is removed) bur it doesn t appear on my computer. Do the Device Manager, it appears as a disc with an exclamation point on it and in properties, I see the error this device cannot start. (Code 10)

    I ve already removed the device and let windows find and install again but the problem persists.

    Thanks in advance for looking into it.

    Hi fjdc,.

    I think that you should look for an update to the driver on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Remove the old version, restart the computer and install the version of the Toshiba page.

  • Satellite P300 - problem on Windows 7 32 bit card reader

    Hi guys,.

    installed Win 7, 32 bit. Installed drivers of the devices of ll, no errors in Device Manager.

    But by Windows session (start / stop) I can only use the O2 card reader (SDHC Sandisk 16 Gb) once.
    No matter if I just pull out the card or use the "Windows cleaner" way to eject of the plateau, the next time this same session if I insert the card, without drive letter is created in Windows Explorer.

    If I look in Device Manager then, an error 38 with exclamation point is presented, based on "pilot has been loaded before but not discharged.

    Then I can just have a glance at the card again if I have first to restart Windows. Becoming a very annoying problem, because I tend to have the laptop on standby, do not close normally.

    Is there advice here?

    Hey,.

    Have you tried to update the driver of the card reader? If not you should do this because normally the error code 38 means that the driver can t be loaded for this device correctly. Resettlement should work

  • Cannot access the card reader/writer internal Flash

    After a few updates, I can access is no longer any SD card inserted into the card reader/writer Flash. I tried to use the convenience store but just that said there is no problem found. When I insert the SD card, it appears in the 'control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and printers' as ' Flash Card Reader/Writer "but I am not able to access the card.

    Hi Tim,.

    Was there a card player offered to you via Windows update driver update?

    -You see no drive letter assigned to the flash card while you see for readers in the window 'computer '?

    -What is the error you get when you go to the map?

    I suggest you try to change the drive letter assigned to the card and see if that helps.

    1 type diskmgmt.msc in the RUN prompt or in start search to open the computer management window.

    2. right click on the indicated card device and select "paths of access and change drive letter.

    3. click on change if there is an assigned drive letter, and then change to another letter. If this is not the case, click on add and select a drive letter.

    4 restart the computer so that the changes are applied and see if you are able to access the content in the map.

    For more information: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

    Alternatively, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the card and see if that makes a difference.

    Visit the website of your computer manufacturer to download and install the latest drivers.

    Hello

    I have a Tecra S10-12 b PTS3BE.
    As soon as I insert a memorystick duo desk with or without a memorystick inside in my card reader, I get a BSOD.
    Similar to the user in this topic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=165760
    Unfortunately the user did not post a link for the driver that solves the problem.
    I've updated to the latest driver for the controller card on the Toshiba site reader: Ricoh 3.54.04 however no change.
    Can someone suggest another pilot to try? I tried searching the site Web of Ricoh download but have not found anything useful.
    Any help appreciated as I now have to use the USB cable to transfer my photos :(
    FYI, SD card works fine.

    Hello

    I have no idea of what OS you use but the card reader controller
    Driver for Win XP downloaded on 15-10-09. It seems that it s among the newer versions. This time it s a 3.54.04.

    I think that you will not find a more recent version

    PS: Check if you BIOS is up to date. If this is not the case, the update.
    Moreover, as far as I know that not all card sizes are supported maybe you should try another card with the smallest size.

  • Error code: 0x8007045D when transferring files to the card reader.

    Original title: Error code: 0x8007045D

    Error code: 0x8007045D when transferring files to the card reader. Lost files. Running Windows 7.

    Hi Bernard Major,.

    1 did you change the permission for the files you are trying to copy?

    2. What place you are trying to copy the files?

    3. are you able to copy the same files on another computer?

    You can try to copy files to another location on the computer and check.

    Step 1:

    I recommend you to check if you have enough permission on the card reader to transfer files.

    See the link to apply authorization:

    What to know before applying permissions to a file or folder

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-to-know-before-applying-permissions-to-a-file-or-folder

    Step 2:

    If you're still having problems, then run Check disk to repair the bad sectors.

    a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

    b. Type X: (for the card reader drive letter) and press enter

    c. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

    Now, type chkdsk/r

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area. You can save the data on the disk before you perform a checkdisk.

    For more information, refer to the article below.

    Error message when you try to perform a full backup on a Windows Vista-based computer: "the application cannot be performed because of an i/o device error."

    Note: This article remains valid for Windows 7 also.

    I also suggest you to check this problem with another USB plug.
