    I installed that and it is still not working. Here is a screenshot:

    I have a 128mb xD card inserted in the slot all the way, but windows is not detecting it, the same thing happens to my 512mb SD card

    I do not have any flash memory cards to test mine out. So I may be in the same boat as you.
    Does device manager show any missing hardware drivers? If not it should be working.

    Maybe there is some additional software needed to get it to work. Possibly somebody else can chime in and offer some advice.

    I just installed the Ricoh drivers, surprisingly it worked fine. Unlike the other stuff.

    Reads xD card perfectly.

    They want you to send it back in?
