    memory card reader issue


    hey guys, trying to make a SD card be read on the PC it is built into the computer, and when plugged in the light goes red, indicating of course, that something is in there, however no option shows up to change files, we have tried with the lock switch, both ways...and still no luck, it also DOES NOT show up under computer, the pc is running windows 7 home premium.

    From a Microsoft Answers thread:

    1. Check if the device is getting detected in device manager. Follow the steps to go to device manager
    i. Click Start, type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
    ii. Search for the name of the device

    If the device is not getting detected in device manager, then check if it is hidden device.
    i. Click show hidden devices under View
    ii. expand all the nods under device manager
    iii. There would be many grayed out entries in device manager uninstall all the grayed out entries under all the nods and then restart the computer and plug the external device to the computer and check if it works

    2. Install the latest drivers from the manufacturer website and even make sure the driver is compatible with the version of operating system installed on your computer. check if it works

    Install the driver in Compatibility mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    3. Check with any other another SD card if it is getting recognized or detected or you may even check if the same SD card is getting recognized or detected on other computer
