    Windows Vista Realtek\SmartCopy Media Reader Driver Not working

    At one point I was able to put my SD card without any issues and upload pics. I have recently tried and and am unable too. When I go to my computer it does not show any of the drives that use to be there. I have checked Device Manager and there is nothing that is flagged. I have gone to Gateway directly and downloaded and tried to re-install but that has not worked either. I have a GT5676, AMD Phenom Quad 9400 and 64 bit.



    Any help is much appreciated.

    Is this a problem no one can solve or has not encountered?

    What do you need help with, Realtek (sound) or SD card (removable media)
    For the SD card go to
    Card Reader Driver 5.1.2600.2011.zip - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com
    Download the driver to your desktop
    Go to device manager and uninstall the driver that is there
    Reinstall the driver, When it asks if you would like to go on line or browse your computer say browse. Go to the file you downloaded from the download I sent you to.
    For a Realtek problem go to the Realtek driver site (link on top of sound threads) and do the same thing
    If I have helped click the scales symbol and tell me

    Thank you for getting back to me. I am not having a problem with sound. I am problem with my card readers. I have multiple places on the front of my tower for digital camera cards, USB ports etc. They all worked at one point but for some reason none are working right now. I tried to download the thing you mentioned but that did not work either. Also when in device manager I am ot 100% sure where the driver is I am looking for.

    That seems to be the problem as it is now showing up in my device manager.

    I don't know why you don't have an entry for SD card. Is it in non plug and play?
    Click on the + and see if anything is there.

    Just a thought, Open device manager and then plug in the device and see if a new entry is opened in device manager. It will close and then reopen.
    If a new entry is there that is the driver you need to uninstall and reinstall.

    Still not quite sure what the problem is as you mention Realtek in your heading which is sound, then you say SD card not reading and you also mention USB ports.
    To update the USB port driver go to Device manager,Universal Serial Bus Controllers, click the + then go to USB Mass Storage Device, Right click and update the driver from this file

    Look at any error logs, this may give you an insight into what is happeneing.

    Left Click on Start Menu.
    Right click on Computer and choose manage.
    Click on the event viewer.
    You now have loads of options to try and pin down what is happening.
    Expand the error tab.
    Look for things in the last 24 hours.
