Please help! There are pictures from the BFG on there!
Thank you It does of course help if I put this on the right thread |
Just wondering if you're sure of the type of card you put in it - is it an SD card or an MMC card.
The reason I mention this is that an MMC card will fit but do nothing. Every other card reader I've come across that supports SD cards also supports MMC cards, so an MMC card would likely work in other peoples machines.
I assume you've tried it both ways up
To check if it's disabled got to the "Run" option on the start menu.
Type "%systemroot%\system32\devmgmt.msc"
Towards the bottom there should be an entry "Secure digital host controllers".
If you expand that entry there should be a sub entry "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller".
If it is disabled it should have a red cross against it. If so you can right click and select "Enable".
