My computer was going through its scheduled maintenance and an error was found that said "a driver problem was detected on flash reader" what does this mean, And it gave me the option of re-installing the driver or restoring the original driver. Which one should i use. I'm afraid i'll uninstall something i won't get back. Info on my computer

Hello jen004,
You can un-install the flash reader and re-install it. What flash reader is it ?.

Its for Portable Devices...How do i re-install it once its un-installed? Is this something i need?

When you install a flash reader it will install the driver it needs, or it will come with a driver. You can restore this driver with no ill effects, and if you do happen to un-install something it's not a problem as you can re-install it. Hope this helps, good luck. (If you have any problems get back to me).
