| Windows 7 RTM 64-bit | Media card reader disappeared after installing driver I have got a 5 in 1 built-in media card reader. It didnt work fine so i installed its driver from hp.com/support. i know i have installed the right driver for my media card reader but when i restarted the system, it disappeared from the My Computer("Computer" as called in Vista). it wont even show in diskmgmt.msc . when i check in device manager, there is nothing such called as media card reader anywhere in the entire list. I dont know where it has gone and i would also like to know if there is any way to un-install that driver? or is there any way to get back the media card reader icon on the "Computer"? |

| | Re: Media card reader disappeared after installing driver In Device Manager is there a device underneath the heading OTHER, and does it have a yellow triangle by it? That's probably your reader, and you can install drivers from there. "dinesh" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:d37e2262e0d7621df218c5543334913f@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

| | Re: Media card reader disappeared after installing driver It means that the card reader driver did not install properly and that the machine does not recognize it. As another poster advised. Remove the device in device manager, and then reboot your system. It should find the device and install the proper driver. If it only ends up the same way, it means that Vista does not have a driver for it, or it is corrupted, and you will have to get the driver downloaded from the device manufacturers website, and install it. Odds are when you reboot, all will be well. Good luck. "dinesh" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:65e20059d5f23c295b8f2787007aff81@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
