Windows XP not reading Memory Card Reader: Your new hardware is malfunctioned.?

Hi, when I connect my Memory Card Reader to my computer, it gives an error balloon that read Your new hardware might not work properly, it is malfunctioned. It was working few days ago before I pasted some songs in my memory card. Should I buy a new MMC Reader? or is that some kinda Windows problem?the memory card appears in My Computer, but when I click it, it says Please insert disk in removable E even when it's inserted already.

Answer:

Try the memory card reader in another computer to eliminate whether it is the computer at fault. If it doesn't work on another computer then it is likely broken or the cable is faulty and you'll need to replace it. If it does work then try it on your computer again and see what happens. If it still won't work then try another USB port.
You may have lost the drivers for your card readeror as it said .your card reader is kaput! Its not unusual many card readers don't last long.
