this is obv needed to remove the thing safely

so i pluged in my 32mb mmc card fits in, then i click on my computer 'removable drive (H:)
then i get the message 'please inset a disk into drive H:"

but my memory card is in there but it wont pick it up

if its all installed then you should be able to pick them up straight away
 
USB problem

Unplug it , put the card in and plug it back into the same usb port.
If you have istalled it more then once you may need to uninstall first.
USB is not the most stable of things even on XP.

Always try and use the same port for the device you attach.
 
thanks just tried that but still no result!

im very very sure the usb device is set up properly in xp
 
just made a breakthrough

i managed to get my 512mb pqi card to work

the other two are nokia make

prehaps my card reader only picks up certain brands?
well wht did i expcet for a fiver!
