Vista vaulting

A little present that was added to the computer was a reader ... these are really useful little gadgets that perform all kinds of tasks including reading the camera card. I was thrilled for now I could upload my pictures in an instant ... but yesterday, quite suddenly, the computer was no longer able to recognise the reader. On the web I ventured and - - - yes you've guessed it - - - this is apparently a common problem on Vista.

Is there anyone out there who knows how to fix it?

In the meantime, I will have to use another method to upload pictures. :(

I don't have Vista, but I noticed that whenever I would allow Microsoft to do those Automatic Updates, my computer would no longer recognize any Office application (thank goodness for restore points!). I'll look around for you and if I find something, I'll send you a comment.
