    Ok this has been bothering me so much! I have a 6831 Fx I don't know what memory card reader it has! I downloaded the Realtek Window 7 64bit and it doesn't work! It works fine in Ubuntu 64 and Vista 64bit using windows driver.

    This is the only works in Win7 when it wants to!

    Where can I get a driver for it and what brand of reader is it?

    Thank you in advance

    I'm pretty sure it's a Realtek card reader. Have you tried the vista drivers in Win7?

    Thanks for the reply. I figured out what it was. I had legacy USB on in the bios and it was killing my Usb 2.0 turned it off and windows found it and installed the correct driver.
