Toshiba SD Card reader driver?

Hi,

Look on the bottom of the computer for model information.

Also Start - type in Search box -> System Information.

Since the system originally had another version of Windows did you run the Upgrade Advisor and

check the Compatibility Center for the SD Drive (and other devices as needed).

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - please run this now.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

Also check the Compatibility Center (for major devices)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

Check with the System maker (Motherboard Maker for custom built systems) and the Device maker

for information about drivers for Windows 7. (BIOS, low level chipset drivers, and other major device

drivers). Toshiba does have a lot of help for upgrading most models on their website, check for your

model.

Check with Toshiba Support, their on-line drivers (to update or re-install), and their forums.

more than one of each) under Disk Drives you may have several - RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL 

for all instances.

Control Panel - Device Manager - USB Serial Controllers - RIGHT CLICK on EVERYTHING and

UNINSTALL all except the category itself - REBOOT - this refreshes the drive and the USB stack
