Compact Flash Reader USB Problem
Hi all
I just got this message from a mate, which I wonder if anyone could suggest what he could try to sort out his problem...he is running Windows 98 second edition. " I bought a compact flash card reader, I connected the device to a USB port and Ignored the software installation set up prompts. (I thought it might be a plug & play) When I insert the software disk and try to install a pop up box tells me the software is already installed and I can progress no further. If I go into the add & delete I can see "USB storage reader device" I delete it but when I try to reinstall the software again, it again says already installed. I tried the above numerous times and have also restarted the PC. " Thanks Steve |

Then the entry should be deleted from Device Manager if it appears there, and removed from Add/Remove programs if the following doesn't work: Install the driver first. Reboot the system, then plug in the USB reader. If the above fails and it's been less than 5 days he can boot to a DOS prompt and do a "scanreg /restore" and choose the registry backup made just prior to first attempt, plug-in of the USB reader.
