Question:

Card reader doesn't read SDHC card?

I need to upload some pictures from my camera for my graphics coursework, the only problem is my laptop doesn't seem to read the SDHC card and the camera doesn't have a USB connector.I have Dell XPS, Windows 7, 64-bit so there can be no way its because my laptops to old - The camera is even older!I've restarted twice and still nothing. When I put it in the computer makes a noise like its doing something, but nothing happens. It doesn't show up in 'Computer' like memory sticks do. I'm really clueless, and I need those pictures NOW because my deadlines in a few days! Thanks :)

Answer:

Does the SD card still work in the camera? i had a similar problem when the card just died for no reason. if it works in your camera then try getting an SD card adapter. they can be in the form of a flash drive shape of a 50in1 card reader adapter that plugs into your usb sockets.
I had the same problem with my HP laptop card reader, it would not read the sdhc cards even though the laptop was brand new. I emailed HP with my problem and they sent me instructions on how to remedy the problem. I can use my card reader to read my 8G and 16G cards.
Unfortunately, my friend, the most likely reason for this is that your laptop's memory card reader is not SDHC compatible. What you'll need to do, I'm afraid, is purchase a USB SDHC card reader. You plug your SDHC card into this card reader, and plug the card reader into a free USB port. If you take a look at some of the offerings on the following OKorder webpage you'll notice that they range in price. Some of the memory card readers have the ability to read and write to various different memory cards. Do pay particular attention to whether SDHC is supported before you make a purchase. Obviously, a local computer store may well have a selection of different memory card readers, but I doubt that you'll find any as cheap as you can get them on OKorder.
need more information before I can give an answer
