Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader Driver Update

I ran an HP Hardware Diagnostic Tools test on my USB card reader and I got errors on every test.
I am running Windows Vista 32 bit system.
I went into the device manager and tried to update drivers, but it says that is the latest driver.
My card reader is always has the green light on even when I'm not using it.  I couldn't find an updated driver on the HP site or the Realtek site. 
If I install any of the driver update programs, it tells me that my driver is out of date, but I have to buy their program to get the update.
Any suggestions?

Hi:
Unfortunately, I wouldn't know why the light is always on in your card reader.
Does the card reader work?
Probably it thinks it has a card in one of the read slots.
One of the read heads might be damaged.

  • Internal Card Reader Driver Will Not Install -- Pavilion g4-1319tu

    1. Product Name and Number: HP Pavilion g4-1319tu
    2. Operating System installed: Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
    3. Error message: none
    4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: none
    At first my card reader did not show up at all in Device Manager until after I actually inserted an SDHC card yesterday 17 jUNE 2012. Windows recognized the card and installed its own driver, Microsoft driver version 6.1.7600.16385 dated 21/6/2006, with the device's manufacturer being listed also in Device Manager as only "(Standard disk drives)" at Location 0, with the status shown as "This device is working properly". The card reader worked (and still works) and appears -- but only with the SD card inserted, otherwise it does not appear at all -- in both in Device Manager and in Computer>Devices with Removable Storage. I went to HP's Support Wizard site to update the driver. The site detected my product correctly and offered an update, "Realtek Card Reader Driver -Version: 6.1.7601.85" (sp55030) to download. I downloaded it and installed it. The newly downloaded driver shows up in Programs and Features. However, even after many uninstall / re-install attempts, the new driver version refuses to show in Device Manager's driver properties for the device. It also does not show when in Device Manager I try to manually update by "Browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer". All that shows is the old generic Microsoft driver named above. If while in Device Manager, I try to update the driver manually by "Browse my computer for driver software>Search for driver software in this location (folder where it is saved on my notebook)", it shows, but still will not update / install. A message pops up saying there is no driver in that location. In addition, after I eject and physically remove the SD card from my notebook, the device and driver also disappear from Device Manager until I re-insert the card, even when Device Manager is set to "Show hidden devices". Please advise.

    Hi, Ken:
    The parts list for your notebook indicates that it has an Atheros 9485GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi and 3012 Bluetooth 4.0 combination adapter.

    Give these a try...
    When a notebook has a combination wireless/bluetooth card, you install the corresponding model bluetooth software for the model wireless card your notebook has.

  • SanDisk USB 3.0 Card Reader does not work with OSX Mavericks.

    Since updating to OSX Mavericks (10.9) My  USB 3.0 SanDisk "ImageMate All-in-One" Card Reader has begun to fail.
    It all seems to work proper at first. The memory card shows up in finder and I'm able to browse the files. But when I try to transfer any files it un-mounts from finder and only transfers the first file.
    This does not happen under previous OSX versions. I have tried on other computers since, so the card reader is fine.
    My USB 2.0 card reader saved my life this time. It works totally fine.
    Is this a known problem? Are you guys working on it?

  • How do i get a USB Omnikey 3021 card reader to work?

    I am trying to figure out how to make my USB Omnikey 3021 card reader work with my Macbook Pro. Please help.

    You don't state the nature of your trouble but checking the vendor's web site I see there is a driver for 10.5 and 10.6 Mac OS but not one for 10.7. So perhaps you sneed to contact the vendor hidglobal.

  • Booting from USB Flash Memory Card Reader on RS480M2-IL (Test Results)

    I just completed testing my USB Flash Memory Card Reader (see profile) as a boot device and wanted to provide feedback to the Forum.
    A UBS Flash card will show-up on the Advanced Bios Features menu, Hard Disk Boot Priority list, when a Flash card is physically present in a card slot.  It showed as "USB-HDD0 : AFT PRO -8MX CF 0" with a 256MB Compact Flash (CF) card for my test.  Using the enter key on the Hard Disk Boot Priority list allows for ordering priority, which was necessary to place the CF Drive before my real Hard Drive for the card to boot.  When the card is removed, it drops from the list.
    I initialized my CF card as a DOS system disk using HP's USB Disk Storage Format Tool v2.0.6 for the test.
    Since it is recognized as a Hard Drive, it boots as the C: drive, not A/B Floppy alternative.
    I also ran a quick test to see if XP Pro Setup would see the drive.  It does show as my D: drive partitioned FAT.  Too small (256MB) obviously for XP Pro install, but it does present opportunity for larger size flash modules.  My Flash Reader actually has 4 different disk functions/slot groups, so XP Setup acknowledge the presents of those empty three slot groups as "Unknown Disk" on the drive list.
    I hope the information is useful for anyone planning a build or looking for alternative boot methodolgy with the board.
    This board just gets better and better.

    So with a nice size flash memory u could start your box with a key drive and lock up your computer when you leave it unattended.

  • USB and Media Card Reader disabled after installing DM

    I installed the DM 4.3 from the CD tonight. Hooked up the BB and everything worked fine. Loaded some music onto the media card and downloaded some pictures. Then I unhooked to see if the music was on the Blackberry, when I hooed it back up, it wouldn't recognize. I tried a few times, then uninstalled the software, re-installed, still nothing, then un-installed and downloaded 4.7 and installed, still nothing, now my computer doesn't recognize ANY USB ports (web-cam, Media Center Remote) and none of the Media Card reader drives are visible in My Computer. When I insert the SD card from my camera, nothing. I uninstalled 4.7 and still nothing. Now I'm worried..
    Please tell me that I don't have to wipe the whole computer and start again.. Please!!

    Hi,
    Before going any further in my research, I want to know the views and opinions about the intent of my work I am about to start.
    AIM : I am trying to interface an external uvc camera with the ipad 2 and iphone .Just like in android there is a node(in unix and linux everythign is a file)which gets created in the /dev/ directory which can be accesses by the application using the native interfaces (JNI) and finally via the android code.I am trying to develop the similair application for the ipad 2 and iphone.
    Can some one plz point out :
    (1) How I can interface external hardware like ( external uvc camera) or any other USB device(a card reader, a storage device, a barometer etc)
    (2) I have googled about Apple's Authentication chip which can be used to interface the external h/w.Can some one point out how useful it is.Is this related to that somehow.
    (3)What are the things similair to JNI, node, /dev/ in the IOS for Ipad 2 and Iphone.
    I will be highly obliged ,if some one could provide me the top pointers on it.
    Thanks and Rgds,

  • Card reader driver for Satellite M30X-134

    Hello,
    where can I find the flash card reader driver for my M30x-134? None of the support page seems to make it and i cannot find out who is the manufactor.
    Thank you,
    Patrick

    Thank you for your advises. Unfortunately I still cannot find the driver. On the canadian site i was able to download some files called "SD Format" and "SD Driver Set", but Windows XP didn't accept them. I have in mind that this is a 6-in-1 card reader, so it should support more formats then the SD. There are two unknown entries in the Device manager, both are called "PCI FLASH-MEMORY". When i started the notebook for the first time (with OEM Windows XP) the card reader worked. Now i have an own license installed which didn't come with the notebook. Could this be the reason? Does anyoneone know who is the manufactor of the build-in card reader?

    Hi:
    Try this driver. 
    If this driver doesn't work, and you want to run W7, then you will have to install W7 64 bit, for which there are graphics drivers.

  • Panic when using USB 2 multi card reader

    On 2 different intel iMacs, I've got the following error using a USB2 Multi Card Reader (Shows up as a Mass Storage Device under Sys Pref):
    IOUSBMassStorageClass has corrupted the registry
    Registry - am I running windoz or something??!?!?!
    I've used this multi card reader on my G4 for a long time and never had any problems with it. On these 2 different intel iMac's it often stops importing my photos, and sometimes won't mount my memory stick cards. One one occasion I got the black/gray screen telling me to restart my computer, and that's when I got the message above. Yes, I've tried other memory cards, and a different USB cable... and at times I still loose communication with the card reader.
    Any suggestions would be great.
    Thanks!

    Hi, is your card reader Mac Intel compatible? which manufacturer?
    I would Repair Permissions then Turn Off. Disconnect everything except KB/M
    restart - I would run OnyX..then Turn Off, connect all your usb & firewire - including card reader if mac compatible! Restart..L

  • Satellite M70: Need mass storage controller & card reader driver

    First issue: I want the driver of (mass storage controller).
    Second issue: I have card reader but it doesn't work.

    First issue: all you need you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    Second issue: I presume the hardware is not installed properly. For that you need to install TI 5 in 1 Card Reader driver.
    If you can not configure all this please use delivered recovery DVD and install OS. After doing this everything will work again.

  • B570 USB ports and card reader result in error of "not accessble" until system is restarted

    Hello,
    I have a new IdeaPad B570. Whenever I plug in my external hdd or other device (like iPod) in any of the three usb ports I get an error that the drive is not accessible...until I restart the computer and then it recognizes it with no problem.  The same thing happens when I put my SD camera card into the card reader.  This is annoying for things that should be plug and play.  However, when I plug in a mouse it connects immediately.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you!
