Cannot Get SD Card reader to work on Portege S100

I have a Portege S100-S213TD I recently dug out of the closet to have my daughter use at college. I no longer have the Recovery Disks, etc but I got WIN XP reinstalled and got all the drivrs I could from the Toshiba support site.
I cannot get the SD carder to be rcognized by the system at all. I finally got the SD Host controller "driver" installed (from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download)
but the SD Card reader does not show up on MY COMPUTER and when I install an older SD Card, the system does not see it. In Device Manager, it shows a PCI device that is yellowed out too.
Is there a specific SD Card driver I need or does anyone have any suggestions? I am at my wits end with this!

If you installed a retail version of Windows, the order of installing drivers and utilities matters.
Best to restore the hard disk from Toshiba recovery media.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
Otherwise, use the attachment as a rough guide. Notice that the chipset software followed by the display driver are installed prior to other drivers and that the Common Modules is installed before other Toshiba utilities.

I cannot get my iPad 2 to work with VPN provider.

I cannot get my iPad 2 to work with my VPN service provider. Using OS 4.3.3. iPad purchased in the USA. Have heard there are issues with iPad 2 and VPN support. Any suggestions?

You can try this ... hold down on the sleep button and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo on the screen, release the buttons and see if the iPad restarts and you can use it.

T430s SDHC card reader not working

Hi, I recently bought a T430s and when I tried to insert a SD card it did not show up in my computer. I've tried 3 different SD cards the sizes are16 gb, 32 gb and 2 gb and neither of them shows up, to make sure the problem is not in the SD card I tried using the SD cards in 2 cameras and 2 other laptops. In all those devices the cards works.
I have tried installing these drivers from this thread https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/New-T430s-4-in-1-express-card-SD-reader-mi... but it did not work.
I also tried following the instructions in this thread http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-card-reader-cannot-read-16-GB-SDHC-ca... but that did not help either.
According to the device manager the Ricoh PCIe SDXC/MMC Host Controller is working correctly. The Ricoh SD Disk Device is also working correctly.
Whenever I insert the SD card the Sound for a new device plays and when i remove the SD card the removal sound plays. How can I fix this? I'm going away for 7 weeks with my laptop so I need to fix it ASAP and I dont have time to send the laptop to Lenovo.
EDIT:
I uninstalled Ricoh Media driver and now 1 of the cards show up but Windows complains about that it needs to be formatted, but the size is 0 so that doesn't work either. Tried installing the driver again and now they show up in the device manager again and proudly says that they are working but the SD card still doesn't show up so I can read the files on it.
EDIT 2:
If I go into the device manager and forcibly update the the Ricoh SD Disk Device then it says:
Disc: Disc 1
Type: Removable
Status: Online
Partitiontype: MBR (Master Boot Record)
Capacity: 15807 MB
Non-allocated space: 0 MB
Allocated space: 0 MB
For the 32 gb SD card everything is the same but instead it says "Capacity: 30828 MB".
EDIT 3:
When the SD card is inserted a storage device pops up in the device manager. The name of the device is just "Unknown device" and the status is that it can't find any installed drivers for the device.

I'm experiencing a similar situation with my 1-year old T430s. The built-in card reader was working fine until recently when it stopped working.
Now the built-in SD card reader doesn't recognize SD cards that are recognized in external USB adapters.
Device Manager shows Ricoh PCIe SDXC/MMC Controller when an SD card is inserted into the card reader but neither Windows Computer Management/Disk Management nor Windows Explorer show the drive. Device Manager indicates that the driver is up-to-date (v6.10.10.32 25May11.)
When I put the same SD cards into an external USB adapter they're recognized by Windows, assigned a drive letter and visible to Windows Explorer as well as other applications.
Do I have a defective card reader?

Let's start with the general things.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Satellite A205 - SD Card reader stopped working after Win 7 upgrade

Satellite A205-SP5818
I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and, among other things, the SD Card reader stopped working. I already downloaded and installed the driver offered in this site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2190493& rpn=PSAE3U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663 (it's the next-to-last driver shown) but it went from not working all together to making funny noices when I insert the SD card... and then not working.
Any ideas of other drivers that might work, or any kind of other solution?
Thanks.

Hi
Try to remove eh SD card controller from the device list.
Then reboot the unit.
After that windows will ask you for an driver.
You can download this driver:
[SD Driver, Flash Memory v2.0.0.7|http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_cardreader_ti_25844A.exe]
You should unzip this package and has to point the driver files in this folder
This should helps to get the SD card reader working again

Broadcom USB Smart Card reader not working

After upgrading my Vista Business SP2 (32-bit) to Windows 7 Ultimate RC (32-bit) my Broadcom USB smart card reader does not work any longer (Dell Latitude E6400 with built in smart card reader).
The newest available driver from dell support was already tested (Broadcom, driver date 09/23/2008, version 1.0.0.1, digitally signed WHQL, released by dell in March 09), but the device can not start (Error code 10) with Windows 7.
With the Microsoft WUDF Driver (Usbccid, driver date 06/21/2006, version 6.1.7100.0) the device starts but whenever I insert my smart card an additional device is detected (other device - smart card) but no driver found - Error message is: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28).
What else can I try to get this reader working again (with vista sp2 the smart card reader was working fine with the broadcom driver)?

I have also an USB card reader that works fine on XP PCs but Win7 does not recognise it, can msft make a sd reader driver that works pls.
Hi
Sorry, but the way the industry works is that Microsoft develops Windows and Hardware manufacturers develop drivers for their products. Microsoft does maintain a complete division (MSDN) that is dedicated to assisting hardware and software manufacturers in developing their products for compatibility with Windows.
All of the drivers that are contained on the Windows installation disk and on Windows Update are placed there by the manufacturers of the devices. This is a service that Microsoft provides to help these manufacturers to distribute their drivers.
What you can do.
1. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated drivers for that device. This is your best source, since the computer manufacturer builds, tests, and sometimes develops their own, custom drivers to work with the hardware on their PCs.
2. Try to determine the name and manufacturer of the device using Device Manager and MSInfo32. Once this information is found, try to find that manufacturers website and look for the latest compatible drivers.
3. Check to see if there are any users forums on the PC manufacturers or device manufacturers websites. Ask there about any known issues with this particular hardware device or if the device is no longer supported.
4. If the drivers are found but are only available for previous versions of Windows, install the drivers using the Windows Compatibility Mode. HOW TO: Install a Hardware Device Driver using Compatibility Mode
Right now, we are in a unique situation since we are using an operating system that is still in the pre-release phase. Many hardware/software manufacturers will be ofrficially supporting their products for Windows 7 until after the General Availability date of October 22, 2009.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for using Windows 7

Card reader not working on Mega 865 Pro

Samsung SpinPoint 250GB SATA II Hard Drive SP2004C

Intel Pentium 4 630 3 Ghz Socket 775 800Mhz 2mb

Windows XP SP2
Now The 7 in 1 card reader does not work! I am used to installing new hardware. There is no entry in the Device Manager for a card reader. I have tried an SD card and a CF card. Tried restarting the PC, tried running Add/Search new hardware wizard. Nothing gets detected. This PC is more trouble than it is worth! The firewire ports and usb ports on the same front panel all seem to work? I've run out of things to try so if anyone has an idea I'd be grateful..
Tech support from MSI - rubbish.

I dont think it is then end of the world if the card reader doesnt work, anyway
what OS are you using? Windows XP should install a driver automatically.
Is the flash drive cable connect to to the motherboard? check the manual to find the cable and enusre it is connected.
