I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CR42 S/W Laptop. I have installed the new windows 7 recently and since this, the SD card slot has stooped working. I assume that all i have to do is update the driver but i am not sure how to do this. In Device manager, All devices seem to be up to date. I have a backup of all the drivers prior to installing windows 7 but i do not know where to put them or how to install them to get them to work. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Christa.x

My va10 is not reading an sd card i have inserted into the slot

Open computer window and check the drives to see if any show your card. If so double click to open, if not, check device manager to make sure the drivers are installed for your portable devices. On the start menu, right click computer and click manage, in the left pane under computer click device manager and look for portable devices in the main window. Check there is no yellow or red icon next to it, if there is you will need to install a new driver.

VGN-N230N can not read SD card when install windows 7. (vista is ok)

Download all the windows 7 updates and install then restart. Windows update are not only updating your windows 7 but also updating your hardware driver. After updating try again your sd card or if still the same can not read try some memory card reader then test it to your laptop. Have a nice day.

After upgradin to windows 7 the SD card slot stoped working. I have an sony vaio vgn-cr240e

You can go to Sony's Support site to make sure you have to download the most recent driver for the card reader. However, sometimes new drivers aren't being created for Windows 7 for older hardware. One the support site select your OS and see what comes up. There are also sometimes drivers released for 32bit, but not 64 where workarounds need to be implemented in order to get them to work, like installing a 32bit driver in compatibility mode.

Hope this helps

I have recently installed Windows 7 on my VGN-N250E. It does not recognize my sd-card. Does anyone know where i can find sd-card driver for win7 for sony vaio VGN-N250e?

Hi,

I checked the information and found that the computer does not qualify for a Windows 7 Upgrade from Sony. But as we have tried, Windows Vista drivers work with Windows 7 as the core for both the OS is same. I suggest that you download install Memory Card driver for Windows Vista from the below link to resolve the issue with the SD Card. I have also provided the link to download Sony Shared Library which you should install first.

Sony webcam no longer works with windows 7

1. The drivers for this Web camera may not be developed for Windows 7 64 bit by the manufacturer.
You will either have to purchase a new camera to be compatible with Windows 7 or Vista 64.
This is also true for your SD card reader.

There are multiple models of the VGN-CR42 (CR420EW, CR425E, etc...)
