    Does your laptop have a card reader?

    You have provided literally no info on your laptop. What model would be a good start!

    The controller might be there but the actual card redear slot might be missing may be acer striped it down to reduce cost

    I had this problem with my 1683 (though I do have the card reader). I reinstalled the chipset drivers from the Acer website and
    the problem went away.
