I have a USB card reader to transfer pics via SD and compact flash. In the past, when I placed a card in, a wizard would pop up automatically asking me what I would like to do. That wizard has now disappeared and it will not recognize my disks. The card reader work because I can still do it in my laptop. What is the function (wizard) called and how do I get it to start again?

Hi, does windows detects your card reader as pluged device?
Can you access it via my computer?

It shows in device manager and when I uninstalled it, Windows XP found it and reinstalled it. However, I cannot read off of the drive through any method on this PC. But, like I said, it the card reader works fine on my laptop. I am also getting a new error, not sure if it is related. When it is trying to configure the PhotoGallary, I get internal error 2908...
