Question:

My memory card readers are not working, having reinstalled windows vista.?

After my PC 'died' recently, I reinstalled windows vista. Everything has worked fine since, but now the card readers on the front don't seem to react when i put anything in them, even when I put a card in and click on the relevant icon under 'Computer'. Device manager says all devices are working correctly, and that the most current drivers are already installed. The light on front of the pc flashes when I put a card in, but that is all I get!!

Answer:

Contact the vendor who sold the computer to you. Find out if the computer had another operating system like WindowsXP, because the reader may work with WindowsXP which goes on first. then upgrade with Vista. You can see if any cables inside are loose. You can see if the memory card needs to be cleaned according to manufacturers instructions (to clean the gold pads)
