Chances are that you just connect the cable that came with your card reader to a USB port on your computer, and plug the other end into your card reader. That connects the card reader to the computer, and the computer will recognize the card reader as one or more drives that you can identify by using the My Computer or Windows Explorer programs of your computer. If your computer's operating system is Windows XP, the card reader should be recognized, and become operational, without installing the drivers on the CD that came with the card reader. Then all you have to do is find the appropriate slot in the reader for your card, and insert it. Search through the new drives added to your computer by the card reader until you locate the one with your card in it, and from there, it's just copy and paste like other drives on the computer. You'll find it a lot faster for transferring files to your Victor Stream than by using the Stream connected directly to the USB port.

Hi all. I just bought myself a card reader from Radio Shack so I'll be able to use it instead of having to go through the USB port for my Victor Reader Stream or through the serial port for my Braille Note. The only problem is it didn't come with any instructions. It came with a small CD-Rom disc that I'm assuming goes into your CD drive on your computer, along with a cord that I'm guessing connects to your computer somehow. The only thing is I'm not sure if the disc is accessible and the cards go in the reader. I can see several slots on it, but I'll have to figure out how to install the driver that's supposedly on the CD and connecting it to the computer. I have some SD cards and a CF card, but I'll worry about where the slots for those are once I figure out how to use the reader! If I have to I can use the USB port on the computer for the Stream, even though it's slow and takes a long time just to put one book onto it, but I'd really like to use the reader for my Braille Note to avoid the hassle of having to connect the Braille Note to the computer and having to download Active Sync and installing it. A card reader would just go a lot faster, I think. If anyone could help with this I'd really appreciate it! MissWings -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
