any ideas anybody?-

thanks

Windows?

Try removing the device in the device manager. Then physically remove the
hardware, reboot and then add the reader again. Does that make sense?

done, done and done-

more than once-

tried another pc and could not get it to work-

could something have corrupted the card reader-

but it says registry error-

thanks

You tried a system restore to the last known date it worked?

Have you added or changed any program settings since the reader stopped
working? If not, you might want to try and restore an older copy of the
registry. This assumes you've made a copy of it recently.

In the past, I've used a tool called RegScrubXP to clean up the registry but
that's not for the faint of heart (if you choose this route, be sure to make a
couple of copies of the registry first).
