My old Vista machine has an icon in the system try when I plug in a USB devise like my card reader, that tells you if/when it's ok to remove the reader after uploading pictures.
My 6 month old Windows 7 doesn't have that icon and I can't find it anywhere. I tried clicking on the task bar/Customize, scrolled down the list and it's not there. Ideas as how I can add it? On the Vista it says "Safely Remove Hardware".
hi, it could be hiding did you check on the little arrow on left side of system tray to bring up the hidden icons?
Yep, it's not there...at least that I recognize.
A card reader might not show up, plug in a usb stick, see if that shows up.
You can always eject a drive from computer, if it shows up there.
The card reader fits into a USB port on the computer, just like a flash drive. As I mentioned, it shows up on the Vista and I assumed it would show up on Windows 7 but, no dice.
Google is your friend :)
