But this shuts down that "drive," so you can't insert another card and continue transferring files. Windows won't "see" it. You have to restart the computer.
Is there a way to get Windows to recognize a newly-inserted card (or other device) after one has gone through the procedure to remove the previous card? Thanks, Joe ========= I plug my card reader into a USB hub and have no problems with reading new cards. All I have to do is unplug the card reader from the hub and plug it in again. Actually, I am not even sure I have to do that. Anyway, I have no problems with any of the devices on the hub -- some I leave turned off and only turn on when I need them -- like my scanner. When on, it's recognized. All, of course, have already been setup previously in add hardware. I am running XP. In other words, I've never encountered the problems you mention. Marnia aka Doe
