I cannot see it anywhere on my computer. The red light is on indicating it is connected. Now what?
if you have xp or vista it should be in my computer try to test if other simular usb things work like flashdrive. if they don't work then you ubs port may have been fryed or your computer isn't setup to use it's usb ports. if your useing windows 98, or other than xp or vista like window 98 or windows me. then you probably will have to setup your card reader with some software downloaded or found with the card reader anyway you should include the additional details of your operating system and if usb flashdrives work. ok i got you message usb card readers are fairly new so they wouldn't be anything than plug and play so you cant really do anything to your computer to make it work. the way i'd go about it is doing two tests, 1) firstly plug you usb card reader with card in it in to someones elses computer if it doesn't work then you only have to worry about the card reader. 2) take the card out and go to a digital prints station in k-mart or what ever and put you card in it if the station recognizes the card then it's most deffinatly a dodgy card reader and you might have to buy another one, conversly if the card is a sd type then you might be able to use a digital camera to read and write files i know i do.
Reboot with the USB reader connected to the PC and then try to find it. Sometimes windows does not recognize it when you first connect.
