The only thing I can suggest is to double checking which driver is installed. The one you want is for the Ricoh R5C833 memory card reader. I found a page a while back on getpcmemory right HERE that had all the XP drivers you'd need for the Dell 1520/1521. The last listing for drivers on that page is for the memory card reader. What you do is first uninstall the card reader through Device Manager (but only if there is no listing for it in...

Re: Laptop Upgrade Questions Most everything usually auto-detcts right out of the box with Vista (and with Windows 7).

I'm kind of freaking out because I need to use the card reader slot often - I have my own photography business and I'm using this card reader...

I've got a friends Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, it was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him. Backup all his documents then reinstall windows. not so simple! Firstly, trying to boot from CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
