Question:

How do I use the Multi-in-1 card reader on my laptop?

I have a brand new Gateway NV53 with a 'Multi-in-1 card reader'. It should be able to read all cards except the larger professional cards. Here's the problem, I have an SD cardbut it is smaller than normal sd cards. It is the same length, but a different width. When I try to slide the card in the reader, it just sits in there. It doesn't connect to anything. Am I missing something?

Answer:

The card reader is designed to accomodate cards of different sizes. You can insert the card firmly, then see if the computer auto-detects and displays it as a new drive under My Computer
you seem to have a miniSD or microSD most likely from a cell phone which requires an adapter to use in most card readers to include most multi card readers. you can find an adapter at wal-mart, radio shack, or even your cell providers store
