Newish desktop, never really needed to fiddle with memory cards until now ...
I've got one of those internal multiformat card readers in my desktop connected via the internal USB. If I put a card in. e.g. an SD card, Windows does nothing. If I click on the drive letters for the cards, I get the usual "insert disk" type of message.
Here's what I've gathered so far:
What am I missing? Is there a reg setting screwed up somewhere?
Any suggestions? This is my first Vista problem in the 3 months I've been using Vista so I'm still on the learning curve.

Here's what I've gathered so far:
- When I put a card in, a little light lights up to tell me a card is inserted. Windows does nothing. So the reader detects a card is present.
- If I reboot with a card inserted, the system hangs since the BIOS is configured to boot from the disks last, so the BIOS is seeing the drive reader.
- If I unplug the reader and plug it in on a different USB socket, exactly the same behaviour.
- If I uninstall devices like a man possessed via Device Managers (and having set the system variable devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices to 1 to unhide things), reboot a few times, I get exactly the same behaviour.
