    hi, no upgrade, it was always vista. Its 32bit. It used to be able to see all kinds of sd cards and just stopped working. I have tried all different card sizes.....as low as 16mb and as high as 16gb, no luck on any.

    when i insert the card, nothing happens and nothing shows anywhere in my computer.

    On my dell m1330 running 32bit vista I can open 8gb and 16gb sd cards so there does not appear to be a 2gig limit or is the limit on acer laptops only?
