    okay i'll try to explain this the best i can...today i bought a 6 slots hi speed 51-in-1 card reader/writer from radioshack...that you hook up to the computer through USB.I got it for putting more mp3s on my microsd card for my mp3 player that has a microsd slot. anyways i got everything hooked up..the drivers automatically installed went to add music onto my microsd card..and it didn't work. The compact flash on my digital camera works on it..but not my microsd. I can't get anything to add to it. I didn't notice this before but it doesn't say anything about being compatible with vista..could that be the problem? and everytime i go into "my computer" and look under the "devices with removable storage" part and i see the drive letter like G: or whatever it is i click on it and it doesn't respond. it always gives me "windows explorer has stopped responding" and then it says windows explorer is restarting except it takes fooorevver! anyways is there anyway i can get this dang thing to work? here is the link to what i bought http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...ard+readers&kw=card+readers&parentPage=search
    i tried to explain it the best i could. thanks

    It might be that your card is not vista compatible?
