Hi Laurie,

·         Have you tried to connect the card reader on different USB ports on your computer?

We will check if the following is useful.

Method 1: Try to connect the flash drive to different USB ports on the computer and check if it helps.

Method 2:

Step 1: Try to reinstall the USB controllers and check if it helps.

a. click the Start button and then right click on my computer. Click on properties.

b. click on the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager. Expand the Bus USB controllers section by clicking on the sign «+»

c. each of the devices under the USB controller section uninstall by right-clicking on each one, then click on uninstall.

d. close Device Manager, and then restart your computer. Windows XP re - automatically installs the USB controllers in your computer, so you don't have to do anything further. Your computer is now running properly USB devices.

Step 2: Log on to the manufacturer's Web site and update the latest chipset drivers and other updates to the device driver.

    Go to the web site of the manufacturer of the computer and see if they have downloads of BIOS update available for your system and your version of Vista.  If so, download and install it and see if that makes a difference - the update may allow recognition to the (if the BIOS is the problem).  Are you certain that you have done all the necessary BIOS changes and that your choice is right for your situation - check this after update if you need to don't do only once.

    Are you absolutely sure that the drive is compatible with the system and your version of Vista and you have installed the drivers of proer? You have a SATA drive it before or is this the first SATA drive on this computer?

    Remove the disc, remove and replace all connections to ensure they are secured (at both ends) and check it out again.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite C55T: Win 7 does not recognize the card, LAN and WLan

    I have a problem.

    I ve downgraded my Toshiba Satellite A5222 C55T for Windows 7 64 bit and it does not have many pilots.
    Windows does not recognize my network connection and it didn't install my wireless driver.

    Maybe I need a chipset driver, but I found no drivers for windows 7.

    Please help me!

    If Windows 7 has not recognized the LAN and WLan card, you have not installed the proper drivers.

  • TS15g067cl laptop: memory card reader does not recognize the card

    The card reader does not recognize the cards.  It does not have a drive location (example: f drive).   This makes it impossible to veiw the files or photos on any (I tried six different) of my SanDisk SD cards.  I can't find anywhere to downlod corrected card rhe read updates update drivers or BIOS for my system.   I just bought this computer 1 week ago and do not understand why I read in the forums about driver issues of card reader for the last year.  Windows 8.1 has been out for some time.  Why HP would sell these computers without updating the software to make them work as they should?

    Thanks for the info.  Disk management does not show the drive.  The problem was resolved after reloading BIOS, as suggested in another post.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA5A Windows does not recognize ethernet controller

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with a PSAA5A-01H00T A100 running Win XP sp2.
    Windows does not recognize an ethernet controller, so the wireless NETWORK card does not work, even if the wired connection is.
    I tried to install the latest WLAN drivers on the support site (two of them), does not. Windows insists that the correct drivers are not installed.

    I suspect a hardware problem and I have the user on an external wireless NETWORK card, but I would appreciate any idea that you guys can provide.

    Thank you.

    Hi mate

    What Ethernet controller is not recognized? WLan or LAN?
    You have a few unknown devices in Device Manager?
    If so, then a critical driver is missing, and so the controller is not recognized correctly.

    You n t know what LAN or Wlan chip you have and what driver is needed?
    Check this box:

  • Why am I suddenly "USB not recognized, one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize"

    Hi all. If anyone out there in Cyber Land can solve this problem for me so I've personally you will issue an eight-pack of ice-cold beer (or a bottle of wine for the ladies lol)...

    I'll try not to waffle too guys, so here's...

    Right my PC running Windows XP. I also have itunes installed on my PC (I have an iphone 4). Upward until yesterday my iphone and itunes were working well, (once I plugged my iphone in the itunes USB port recognised that my iphone was plugged and synchronization was fine etc.).

    But now when I plug my iphone to PC to sync with itunes, I get a pop up box on the lower right part of the screen that reads... "USB not recognized one of the USB devices has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize."

    After visiting about 5 different sites now "Ways to solve this problem", believe it or not, I still have the problem bloody! :(

    A site proposed shutdown PC and unplug it from the power supply, then plug it back start-up and back... this as did not work!
    The other they say that I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs then restart... it did not work either.
    Tried a system restore
    Tried to reinstall itunes

    When I check the names USB in Device Manager, there is one who reads unknown device. I am literally pulling what's left of my hair now. I tried to solve this problem for almost 2 days now and still no joy. That's why no matter what input you guys would be very appreciated. I'm no PC Wizard, so please, don't think you're patronizing me if you break down things step by step for me.

    Thank you comrades, cordially, Freddy frustrated. :)

    Another said I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs and restart.

    Usually, this works... but can be very dangerous, unless you have a PS/2 keyboard.

    I also assume that you have tried all other USB ports on the computer. tried a verified USB device (for example, a flash drive) in the USB usually when you plug in your iPhone. and I tried your iPhone in another computer (I know it's rare for an error message Windows really means what he says, but sometimes the material lacks).

    Is the charge of the iPhone when it is connected to the USB port (I don't think)?  This happened to me recently, but a reboot fixed it.  I guess that that happened to you.

    I guess that you don't see the error messages in Device Manager or you must declare them.

    You can uninstall all USB devices that do not exist as follows:

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Enter the following command and press enter

    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    • Start the Device Manager by typing the following in the same command prompt window

    devmgmt.msc

    • In Device Manager, click the view menu and select "Show hidden devices".
    • You should see a category just after "Non-Plug and Play drivers" named "other devices."  Chances are that there will be a big exclamation yellow mark beside it.  When you expand the "other devices" you should see several non identified "USB devices."  Uninstall all this.
    • Reboot (with the iPhone NOT connected).
  • Windows does not recognize my mp3 player

    My new phone has an mp3 player, but windows does not recognize to transfer music from the Rhapsody for her. How can I make it work?

    You don't say what to do with phone/mp3 player. If its something other than an iPhone, you'll probably need to install the drivers/software supplied with your phone.

    If its an iPhone, you'll need to use iTunes or software MGTEK.

    See you soon,.
