    I can't seem to read anything in my 6860FX's media card reader. In the Device Manager it lists an Unknown Device" under the USB controllers section. I've downloaded the Vista 32 drivers for the Media Card Reader from the Gateway site, and nothing is working. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, removed the unknown device from the Device Manager and reinstalled that, and it won't turn on.

    It was working fine the other day, then all of a sudden this started happening. Any help is much appreciated, I'm lost once again, but I think this is a Vista issue.
