Built in SD card reader in Tosh P205D-S7438 has stopped working

My sd card slot has stopped working in my laptop.  When I insert a card I get a message that the card must be formatted.  When I tell it to format it, it replies that it cannot.  I have tried multiple cards, and get the same response every time. These same cards work perfectly in my husbands SD card slot as well as in my camera.
I have tried restarting the Smart Card service....no dice.
I have tried updating the driver....most current is installed.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the driver.....no dice.
I am running Win7 Home Premium, upgraded from Vista Home Premium.  I just downloaded all Windows updates, included SP3 which apparently has several sd card fixes, but nothing.
Can anyone help?  I'm not a geek by any means, but it sure seems like this ought to be any easy problem to fix. However, none of the online resources I've found have helped.  Time to go straight to the manufacturer.
Thanks!!

If the machine recognizes the card reader in my computer and/or the device manager then the card reader is setup in BIOS. Go to my computer. Click on it. Does SD card open? If not right click on the sd card and click on properties in the drop down menu. What drive letter is designated, how is it formatted and how much space is used/free? Your using Vista 32 bit. What's the OS on the other machine?

    Hi Noel,
    I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
    You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
    It just didn't occur to me to do so.
    My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem.  It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of  their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install 
    I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
    If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
    Perhaps the following from the event log:
    Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 15.1.0.148, time stamp: 0x53d97a8f

    The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor.  Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
    In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
    - download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
    - use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

    Hello. I have had the exact same problem as the person above, with the exact same crash timestamps and IDs. Using the msi worked for me aswell but I was left with an issue. If I install the product via msi instead of exe, everytime I delete one of adobe reader's shortcuts, I will get a "please wait while windows configures acrobat" every time I launch adobe reader. At the end of this process the shortcuts are put back in my programs and desktop, basically adobe insists on keeping them there and if I dare to remove them it detects the change, launches windows installer, and puts them back.
    As I understand there are certain command line parameters for the MSI that will either prevent instalation of shortcuts altogether, or stop adobe from "regenerating" itself everytime I delete them. How can I do that?

  • Windows message that reads APE's has stopped working

    I have a new Sony Vaio and Premiere Elements 4 was preinstalled when I bought it. I'm now trying to create a movie and I've never used PE before, I can add various clips into the sceneline as well as titles, but when I go to preview my video in the preview screen it plays about 10 secs of a clip before just closing the whole program down and coming up with a Windows message that reads
    "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I haven't had a solution! Please help, its really frustrating, I just want to get started with my movie and I can't.
    Thanks
    Gemma

    You don't say what operating system you're using, what your system specs are or, most importantly of all, what type of camcorder your video came frame, but all of these things can affect the program's performance.
    Another large factor is outdated firmware and, especially, outdated Quicktime.
    Because there are so many possibilities, I'd recommend you contact Adobe Tech Support and do some troubleshooting with them.

  • So confused my card reader has stopped working again

    My card reader has stopped working again. It's done this before and I just uninstalled it and then downloaded and installed the Ricoh Driver from Toshiba's website and that fixed it right up.
    This time though it's not working. Here's the confusing part. When I download the Ricoh Driver and Open it it shows it's extracting the Ricoh Card Reader Driver which is good. Then the next screen says Welcome to the Logix Pro 500 Simulator Setup Wizard.
    Now Logix Pro is my dh's PLC/electrical program. Why are these getting crossed over? What can I do to fix my reader?
    I have the A305-S6905 with Vista.
    Thanks!

    Never mind! I figured it out. I was trying to download it with Firefox. I tried again using Internet Explorer and it works perfectly now!
    Thank goodness!

  • I have two graphics cards in my PC . after I had to reinstall windows again has been slower pc and stuff not play 4k footage . Can you help me find out about it " Raks " graphics card has stopped working ?

    I have two graphics cards in my PC . after I had to reinstall windows again has been slower pc and stuff not play 4k footage . Can you help me find out about it " Raks " graphics card has stopped working ?

    I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
    it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
    ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
    I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
    if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
    cosmic rays
    sun spots
    the trilateral commission
    if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
    there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

  • My built-in  key board has stopped working how can i fix this?

    my built-in key board has stopped working all of a sudden how can i fix this?

    Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard?  If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty.  Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key.  If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
    If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
          If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

    What computer operating system?
    Uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled is not a bad idea. But, let us look at some other
    factors before that.
    1. When you try to open the program, how far do you get....Welcome Screen - clicking on Organizer or Video Editor or other?
    Have you tried to open the program directly from the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file after you have applied Run As Administrator to that file?
    2. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working in a school or company network?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the website of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you running the programs as administrator?
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details in your reply.
    Besides uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall, we may next try deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or the whole 13 Folder in which it
    exists or installing the program in a newly created user account with administrative privileges and trying to run the program from there.
    But, let us rule in or out the first 4.
    Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.
