    I used the built in card reader today and it worked. I took some more pictures and pluged in the card again and now the device manager says that the sd card reader device has an error,
    i open it up and it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
    i unstalled it and reinstalled it and that didnt do anything, and i downloaded the drivers again from dell.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    You can try this:
    http://www.hauppauge.com/html/winxp_driver_data_invalid.doc

    I don't know if it will work or not, so you'll have to try this at your own risk.

    Did you do anything between the time you removed the card and got the error? Can you access it manually (go to my computer, sd card should be listed).
