Need a card reader suggestion (or driver help)
I have a basically nameless, cheap-but-effect PNY memory card reader that I bought five years ago for maybe 15 bucks. On the front it says USB 2.0 card reader, and on the label on the back it says USB 2.0 8-in-1 card reader and a model number of U2CRN-PY.
In XP it works great. In Windows 7 (64), putting an SD card into it results in, after a long time of the spinning blue circle, me getting a Windows message saying I must format the card.
Plugging the same reader and card into an XP box results in immediate detection and identification of the device, and ability to read/write from/to the card.
Problem is not my USB ports in 7. A thumb drive and external hard drive and USB printer all work from the ports in which the card reader is failing. And of course the reader fails in each port.
So I am looking for a recommendation of an inexpensive multicard reader that can handle SD cards (and we have an old Olympus that uses xD cards), and works with Windows 7 64 bit.
OR - a place where I can download a working driver for my existing reader. The PNY site is no help, and some generic drivers I found using google don't make a difference either.
