    Hi, I've installed vista on my new sz-320, and I can't get the express card reader to read SD cards. It just hangs and crashes. It also shows both an "sd" drive and a "g" drive in my computer, and I don't understand why. I installed the texas instrument drivers, but nothing works. any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Thats not good to hear. I was hoping to use this slot to take advantage of Vista's "ReadyBoost" feature using an SD card when my SZ arrives. Has anyone gotten ReadyBoost to work on an SZ?

    I remember windows update had a texas instrument driver update. Try that.
