Media card reader wont work
« on: March 07, 2005, 08:24:55 AM »
Hi,
I have a Belkin 8in1 USB card reader that worked fine but the cable became disconnected. On reconnection, windows XP (service pack 2) detected new hardware and went through it’s automatic installation routine.

The device now shows as a Zip 100 drive in explorer, as a series of hieroglyphics (ending in HS-CF) in device manager and it no longer functions!

I tried uninstalling the device from device manager, disconnecting it, reinstalling the driver from the original CD, restarting the PC and reconnecting the device but XP does the same and it assigns is as a Zip 100 drive.

I cant update the driver from device manager as the Belkin software is and .exe file, not the driver itself.

Belkin cant help so any ideas gratefully received. Thanks, Dave.
