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".
Whats the difference between a MMC and a SD card? The card is a 32mb one that I got free with my mobile (camera) phone and it also works fine in the the digital camera I had over the weekend. Am confused.

I will try the %systems% thing when I get home tonight.

Thank you
