Generic Volume drivers

I recently added a second tv tuner card to my system and had trouble installing the drivers for it (their .inf file had the wrong subID) but while working on this problem, my 9 in 1 internal card reader got messed up. It has 1 USB thumb drive port and the other 8 slots are for camera cards. The USB port works fine but the others do not and looking in Device Manager, I see the yellow marks next to 4 of the 'Generic Volume'. I removed these and rebooted but no joy.
I removed the device entirely from the system and rebooted and then reinstalled it and still the same problem. Since I dual boot, I booted into XP and this same device works fine. I've also tried letting it search for drivers but nothing I do works.
I'm at a loss for ideas and appreciate some info.
Thanks in advance.

was having a hell of a time trying to get my Vista x64 system to recognize
all of my card readers and my usb hubs. For the USB hubs it would recognize
2gig or less flash drives but nothing over that and when I opened "my
computer" I didn't see the typical list of all the 'virtual drives' I was
used to seeing. I tried redoing the INFCACHE.1 trick, and edited my registry
to point to system32 and sysWOW64, non of which worked. Then, while removing
a program I thought might have started the problem I noticed something I
hadn't seen before in the uninstall/change programs. On the left hand side is
a link that says "Turn Windows features on or off" and when I opened it on of
the options was "Removable Storage Mangagement" and it was UNCHECKED. So I
decided to check it (and a couple other things I thought might be useful) and
sure enough when I booted back up all the card readers, usb hubs and flash
drives worked like a charm. If you've been sharing my frustration you should
try it and see if it works.
Ciao,
Greg
