Cannot Detect USB card reader
My USB CF Card Reader cannot be detected recently. From the 'Device' properties, error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" or "device are not installed (Code 28)" is found.
My W2k is updated to SP4 and I tried to unistall and reinstall the USB Mass Storage driver but still it doesn't work.
Thanks

That doesn't sound good. Reinstalling the driver as you did with SP4 helps in some cases, but if you have a hardware problem with the USB controller, it won't work, no matter what. An alternative is a PCI USB card: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=15-102-008&depa=0
If you're not ready to spend money for a card, or really want to be sure it's a hardware problem, I recommend trying a DOS-based driver and see if that works. I have used the DUSE drivers on this site successfully:

I didn't do anything, but there is no problem now. Strange. Anyway, thanks all for your help. I just splitted the point to Callandor, Iggy79, tmj883. As Iggy79 posted the most comments, I assigned more points(45) to him/her.
Thanks

From the Control Panel > System > Device Manger, I saw the 'yellow exclamation' mark beside "Unknown Device" under the "Universal Serial Bus controller". And from it's properties, the device status is "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Thanks
