    Hi All,

    Today I put a MMC card from my N70 mobile into the built in card reader but could not see the card reader in "my computer".

    Perhaps the laptop does not recognise it or may be the card reader hardware/software is missing .

    Any help in this respect would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance .

    Try to reinstall the card reader driver :) thats always a good first step. If that doesnt work post back. Drivers should be on a cd you recieved from Dell or you can download it from the Dell website

    there doesn't appear to be a driver for it on the website X2P. maybe he or she should try rebooting. or maybe the card is not supported in the reader.
