    I did an upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista, and it seems that everything works fine, function buttons, etc - except the Memory Stick reader built into my VAIO SZ61. It does not seem to read any memory sticks and the icon is greyed out.

    I have tried reinstalling the drivers and downloading them from Sony to see if those work, but I've had no luck. Has anyone had this happen to them or have any ideas what could work to fix this?

    Just a bit I forgot to put in - am using build 7100 (RC) and 32 bit, not 64.

    hmm, sure all drivers are installed? Check your device manager

    Yep, all drivers are installed - I even tried uninstalling and re-installing too. I can't figure out why it won't work.
