---------------------

I recently installed Windows 7 on my Dell XPS 720 desktop computer because of no more support from Microsoft for the XP operating system. This computer came with XP.

After installing Win7, my card reader no longer works. It was normally displayed in My Computer as four removable disks with appropriate drive letters. When I inserted a SDHC card a small light next to the drive slot would illuminate and a window popped up offering me to open the card.

Now I only get one removable disk drive display (Drive E) and when I insert a ScanDisk SDHC Card it will not read it or open it. I just get a message to insert a Disk into Drive E. I have tried four different SDHC Cards that previously worked and now, none of them will load.

I have downloaded drivers from Dell that I believe control the card reader but they will not install because they specifically state the drivers for for the XP operating system. I can't find anything on Dell about drivers for Windows 7 operating system or anywhere else.

This means I can no longer download photos from my camera and other uses for the card reader.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jerry
