I have a built in card reader that has always run my SD cards fine - but now it is balky when I try to read a PNY 4GB SDHC card. I think it read it at one time but not recently. I have tried to download the hotfixes I found in the knowledge base but 2 of them are apparently older than SP3 and the 3rd doesn't have an English language selection. In Device Manager, the system says the device is working properly. I have tried to update the driver but am told there is not a newer driver - I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and that doesn't help either. Anybody have any other ideas or help?? I am using Windows XP Media Center edition with SP3 loaded in a Gateway desktop computer.
If this is any help - this card also does not open if I connect an external 2.0 USB card reader to this desktop - but this card works fine in my ACER netbook and in my Toshiba Satellite notebook - both running Windows XP.

Everyone!!!
You need to note that both the SD and SDHC "cards" have the exact same physical size but the internal electronics are different. To read a SDHC card, the reader MUST be able to read the SDHC electronics correctly. You can not read a SDHC card on a standard SD reader but a SDHC reader can read a SD card.

WHERE IS THE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM PLS? :)
My problem is very similar, but I'm using XP SP2 with a Canon printer with reader that worked at some time in the recent past. Not sure exactly when it quit working.
Brand new PNY 8.0GB 2.0 USB removable drive - completely blank - tried to save files to it, says it is full. Ran explorer on it, says 0 bytes available & 0 bytes used. Tried formatting it, nothing. In Device Manager, the system says the device is working properly. Using Windows XP Pro edition with SP3 loaded.
Same problem, but a little different. I tried the 2 hot fixes...kb 934428 and kb 934429. Neither would install because they said "Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying". I am using an external card reader. Works fine on cards below 4GB. Windows exploerer hangs until I revmove the card. Right now the only way to read the card is connecting the camera to the computer via USB.
I would much rather use the card reader!
