Vista - Memory Card Reader

Hi All,

I have recently installed a moeory card reader, I have plugged in the cables
to the USB port on the motherboard, and the reader's lights light up.

However the computer cannot detect it in "my computer" and it's unable to
read any cards that I put in it,

I hope someone can help,

Thanks,

From Porthos.

Double check the connections, plugged in the correct direction or if single
pins, that they go to the right pins on your motherboard. Make sure they are
to your USB port and not Firewire. Does the mass storage device appear in
the device manager under usb devices?

Hi Paul,

The Card Reader does not appear on the device maanger, the computer does not
even know it's there, erm however from what you say regarding the pins to the
USB socket, I cannot comfirm that they are 100% correct as I am unceratin
which order which pin goes where, after all the socket is tiny and if you or
anyone else could provide a map or explain how to pin the socket correctly,
that'll be great,

Thanks again,

From Porthos.
