Enlight 3.5" Card reader with SIM, see here

Running on XP PRO x86

Presumed it was working fine, didn't come with a disc or anything, I guessed it was plug and play, icons for all the drives showed up in My Computer, all seems hunky-dory in Device manager, but MS update downloaded and installed Generic drivers for it anyway.

However when I actually came to use it, the light came on when I inserted the card, but no autoplay popped up.

Not particularly bothered at this point I opened My Computer, all icons still greyed.

So I tryed again, nada.

No "Installing Device Driver Software" balloon pops up either, although I suppose it wouldn't, seeing as it reckons its already downloaded it.


Actually I just checked the page on Misco, it specifically says

Features

• Plug and Play -No Drivers required

However it also says, package includes software CD. Mne wasn't in the package they picture, just in a cardboard box with some polystyrene protection...

Maybe I'll have a look around online for that software, but failing that, do you think I should uninstall those generic drivers, if it's meant to be Plug and Play? Or wouldn't they affect it at all?

[4D(Fordy(Ford) Ollie]

Ok, their site is completely useless.

Drivers for server stuff only really, then some manuals and photos..

Brilliant..

So I uninstalled i from Device Manager, hoping Plug n Play would come into affect, no difference at all.

I'm at a loss now.. please help guys..

the disk would have been for '98 or earlier O/S's, as they dont support plug and play USB mass storage. What size card are you using?

[4D(Fordy(Ford) Ollie]

512MB MSPro Duo

Tiny really, can't be that, surely they wouldn't make something supporting Vista, but not 0.5GB cards??

No i was just thinking that my printer has a built in card reader, but it wont read any SD card above 4gb, which gets a bit irritating? have you tried any different cards? it could be immensely bad luck and your reader is just duff.

When my bros home I could try his XD I guess..

I've been trying to try (lol) my SIM card, but I can't get the bloody thing out..

I'll try it in Win7 too before giving up..

[mctw]

cant get it out your phone?

[4D(Fordy(Ford) Ollie]

Nope

[mctw]

Hehe, know the feeling. I had to resort to a screwdriver with my d600! Dam phones, they dont want you to get rid of them i swear :-P you can usually back your contacts up across USB or bluetooth though.

[4D(Fordy(Ford) Ollie]

Yeah I know, it was more just for the sake of checking it wasn't the card, or that particular drive.
