recognising card reader!

External Since: Jan 27, 2006 Posts: 2

Using XP. Memory stick is recognised in'My Computer'as Removable Disc 'F'.
A Card Reader plugged into the same USBport does not show in 'My Computer'
at all. However if I go into 'Portable media devises' via Control Panel,
it does show up as Removable disc 'I' for SD card and Removable disc 'G'
for XD card. Why doesn`t Card Reader show in 'My Computer? Which EXPERT
will solve this problem?

Unformatted devices do not show in MyComputer.
