Did you install XP over 2K? Sometimes older drivers remain setup for the
old OS even when trying to reinstall them on the new OS - the best way I
have found is to install the new OS on a clean drive and install the
hardware from that point. Usualliy that works just great for me - of
course it is an MS OS so the little gremlins will do what they can to
disrupt operations and end all life as we know it.
also - have you tried re-installing the USB Hub driver or updating it?

Peter,
Another thought. I've just had my Dell tech on the phone (not too much
charge and 30 day follow up - that's good service) telling me off for
putting too much on the computer ;-). But he said don't install
straight from the disc, put it on a hard drive first and then install
it. If that is possible it might be worth a try.

Thanks Joseph - I'll try anything at this stage!
Almost getting to the stage where it's cheaper to
go buy another card reader - but I object to
throwing away something that is only about a year
old and probably hasn't read more than 250 or so photos in its lifetime!
Plug and Play? More like Plug and Tear your hair
out in my experience. Just spent 30 minutes
reinstalling my scanner - supposed to be a two minute job they say!!

Peter,
I'm very non-technical as you well know, but I take it you have tried
installing the driver first? Also I had a weird problem installing a
program after having to re-install Xp and what I think solved it was
running sfc /scannow to find what had happened to or about irst.dll.
I was able to install other programs, but not this one!
If this helps I am delighted.

I've upgraded from W2000 to Windows XP in the last week and no
matter what I do I cannot get it to recognise my Media Card Reader
and as a result can't transfer photos to my PC! Bit of a problem as
I've taken a load for a client for a new web site!
I've a Fuji Film reader that was working fine with W2000 and the
software says it's XP ready. I've tried installing it and
uninstalling it - changed USB ports and anything else I can think of
including downloading a software upgrade from the Fuji site - which
then tells me the software isn't installed so the upgrade is no use!!
Windows Explorer shows my system as having the following drives:
C: - the basic partition on the HD
D: - (CD/DVD Drive)
E - a partition on the HD
F - my USB Removable "Memory Stick"
and then H - a separate HD I have installed.
All this is as per the previous setup except that G (now missing)
was the card reader and now won't show!
The system has told me "New Hardware found" when I've reconnected it
after removal, yet even after running the setup CD that came with
it, it still doesn't show?
Any of you highly technical people able to shed any light for me
please?
Thanks
Peter MacGregor
