2 gb sd card

2 GB sd cards do not work with vista Home premium. Windows requires that the
card be formatted, and then it formats the card to 969 MB instead of 2 GB.
My suggestion to microsoft:

Fix it!

Is your system fully updated with Windows Update's automatic updates?
if yes, your 2GB SD Card should works fine after Windows Update
automatically installed this patch:

RE: 2 gb sd card

Yes I have downloaded all updates. I tried to download the update you
mentioned, but when before it gets installed, it says "this update does not
apply to your system"
the 2GB sd card does not work with my computer. every time I try to use it
it says it must be formatted and then it formats it down to 969 mb.
