    I'm a touch miffed :(

    Thought I'd try my xd card out my camera in the card reader on a 2490, and... Nothing. Not a whisper.

    The card is only a 128M, and the reader is supposed to read xd cards. It's listed in Device Mangler, and if I remove it and rescan it gets picked up again, but it simply refuses to see there's a card in there.

    It's not a major problem, I'm one of those strange people who believes it's easier to plug the camera into the USB rather than fiddle with flimsy tiny plastic cards, but it's an irritation as it should work. So, does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

    Oh, and the laptop also happens to have a 943 chipset... I can't believe I'm excited by what that could mean, think I need to get out more! :D
