Why my computer will not collect my memory card when it is inserted into the slot

I recently got a new memory card.  I wanted to put pictures on my computer but it will not pick up what I've inserted.  There is a green light, but nothing happens.  I have windows vista.  The last time that I did that it worked very well.  Can someone help me?

The memory card is a "pro Duo' memory stick.  It's a 8GB.

Then it is SDHC, and I guessed it was the problem almost certainly is. Card reader isn't most likely plain SD, SDHC, and he can't read the card.

    using Windows 7 sp1

    Original title: usb

    Hello Fred,.

    Windows 7 sometimes has trouble recognizing external drives connected to the USB ports. There are a number of possible corrections for this.

    1. make sure you that the USB port in question works with another device, that you know works. For example, take a mouse that you know doesn't work and plug it into the USB port is connected. The mouse still works? If Yes, go to #2.

    2 do a reset power coercive.

    1. Unplug the power cord. Then (on a laptop) remove the battery.
    2. Unplug all USB devices.
    3. Leave it alone - don't connect or reconnect the devices for several minutes.
    4. After several minutes plug the power supply cord.
    5. Then install the battery.
    6. Turn on the computer and restart as normal without plug any USB device.
    7. Connect your devices one at a time and let them install as usual.

    The external hard drive works now? If not, go to #3.

    3. I have and others have used an application of part 3, the freeware Aomei Partition Wizard, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link). Once installed, you need only browse the external drive and select it, then click Properties. That's all; simply choose the drive is enough to get the drive recognized by Windows 7, no formatting required.

    I would like to know if one of these methods works for you. After back here with your results.

    Kind regards

    They go bad sometimes. Try these:

    Control Panel - Device Manager - hard disk - drive SD card or similar - double click - tab driver-

    following the UNINSTALL.

    Now bring the controllers USB - right click - UNINSTALL everything in category one at time EXCEPT

I've tried rebooting and pressing F8 etc.; to enter safe mode, all I get is a screen with F3... appears. The machine has no CD / DVD drive.

All possible solutions? (I don't have the disc XP Home with me as I work away from my country of origin for a few weeks!

    Activate the hard disk and set hard as 1st priority to boot in the BIOS driver and check if the problem persists.

    Note: changes to the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Why my computer will not be updated to the latest version of firefox?

    I have windows XP on my computer. To access some sites I get a message saying that I need the latest version of windows, I download and install... or so I thought pop.
    Everything seems as it should and I get no error messages or signs that something went wrong. Yet when I then re - visit Web sites (i.e. Deviant art) he declares again I don't have the latest version of firefox. I contacted the site deviant art, which has confirmed that my browser is showing that Firefox 3.5.3.

    Your string UserAgent in Firefox is marred by another program you have installed.

  • Computer will not read my SD cards

    I am trying to download pictures and videos from my SD card as well as a PRO Duo SD card, and my computer doesn't seem to be reading them.  I've done it before without any problem.  Please help, here are pictures of the wedding and the bride and groom are to rely on me.

    Hello knoxlab,

    Your computer cannot read your SD card after you have made a recovery on your laptop.

    Go to Device Manager and uninstall the card reader, it should include the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

    This will uninstall and reinstall the driver for the card reader.

    Here is a link to the Device Manager.

    By clicking on the White Star congratulations on the left is a way of saying thanks!

    I would like to know how everything goes.

    Nice day.

  • computer will NOT install flash... ready to throw it out the window

    YouTube and music on sites like projectplaylist have been buffered and not taking up only quite recently. I thought that trying to uninstall flash and reinstall would help. Well after that I uninstalled it, I can't install correctly. I've tried it in firefox and IE (I use Firefox as my main). I click on save file and it opens the installation box and installs and then when I go on youtube or any site that requires flash it acts like it is still uninstalled. I checked my programs and I don't have that software adobe reader and adobe air listed. I checked on the adobe site to see if it is downloaded and it is not. I have download the plug and it tells me it failed. I have no idea what I should do now. I'm not really familiar with computers enough to know what to do. I think that I tried to download it like 20 times now. If I go to download the "install flash player" icon. I would like to download and it acts like he did it but then nothing. It's so frustrating! It is not the first time that I had trouble downloading it before. I tried to do the ccleaner also. Any ideas? When I look at other sites using it just keeps giving me the manual download from adobe page. That it has not worked. Thanks if you can help. I'm ready to call a computer repair shop lol

    BTW, I have a Dell Windows Vista if that helps.

    Hi, well you would be the second in a week that was ready to throw the computer out the window. Fortunately, the other user don't have to do it :-)

    Let's take a look and see what happens. First, go to this site and let me know if you see the animated Flash logo and what version of Flash Player is displayed. http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/

    Also I would like to know which version of IE and FF you use.

    Thank you

  • My PC does not recognize a 16 GB SD card when it is plugged into the interbnal reader.

    I have a Dell Dimension 9200 PC... It reads 1 GB and 2 GB SD cards fine... However when I plug my new 16 GB formatted card it does not detect it.

    Your 16 GB SD card is really a SDHC card.  Even if the card is the same size as the old SD cards, the internal structure is completely different.  To read an SDHC card, the drive must be SDHC compatible.  The reader needs internal 'material' to read SDHC cards.  Therefore, as you said you can read 1 to 2 GB cards, you have a single SD reader.  You will need to purchase a SDHC reader.

  • : HP Quicktouch on screen has stopped working, computer will not remain once I connect.

    So looking at the forums and everywhere on the internet, I know this problem starts because of an update that I installed it. But what I'm trying to understand why my computer will not remain after that window opens after I connect, because it restarts whenever I log in. I became extremely frustrated with this issue and I really don't know what to do. of course, there is the system restore, but that work? I can't find quicktouch in my list of programs to uninstall in safe mode, because this is the only mode that will allow me to stay very long. so if anyone has the answer please help me, it's super frustrating.

    Hi cavalierfanatic247,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Start on Safe Mode desktop.

    Remove the update that caused the broadcast of programs and features in Control Panel by clicking View installed updates.

    If you are not able to remove the update, use the utility window cleaning to remove the update. See the link below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    If the steps above did not fix the problem, try to restore the system to a previous point before windows update when it worked fine.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

    In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    You have an Essentials and HP drivers disk?

    If the system restore is not enough, you can use the HP Essentials and the disk drivers to uninstall and reinstall the quick key.

    Click Finish.
