Aspire 5610z card reader doesnt show up. Vista home premium

I have 4 or 5 in one card reader in my acer aspire 5610z that wont show up in windows explorer (it says xD, SD, Multimedia card, and memorystick pro above the slot). It shows an sd card reader device in device manager and I checked for driver updates. it said driver was up to date. I saw on a forum to try re booting the computer with a card in the drive. I did that and it showed up! then I clicked on it and it said to insert a card. I pulled card out and the drive dissappeared. I put the card back in and nothing happened. The card reader never has shown up since owning the pc, I just worked around it. But now I need it.

Did you ever solved your problem? I noticed the above response is just a spam ad.

I have same problem with Aspire 3680. I recently replaced the HDD and reinstalled Vista Home, all drivers from Acer has been loaded. I even updated the BIOS, updated Vista service packs and all patches.

Sent email to Acer, but of course they want $60 per 1/2 hour. And from the past experience it will take about 2 hours on the phone. Also they have no support forum, and support sucks.

So I'm still stumped. This SD problem with Acer is the only one I couldn't resolve of all brands I've worked on.

Acer Aspire 5610Z. Upgraded to Win 7. Screen resolution changes

Hello,

Your laptop was not designed to run windows 7 or be compatible with it. It may run fine with windows 7 but issues might come up sooner or later like the one you're experiencing.

[EXPERIMENTAL]
Download both of these (as I don't know which one of thsese two your laptop needs). Keep mind that doing the following could render your system inoperable and use at own risk. When downloaded, extract ZIP , open desired folder and find SETUP or INSTALL program. Right click and choose properties, then navigate to compatibility mode, then select windows Vista from the menu. Then apply changes, ok and close window and attempt to start.
