Elitegroup Card Reader - model UCR-61S2B - Wont work on XP
I got this card reader that just goes in 3.5" and has one cable that fits the M/board USB.
I have the cable connected correctly e.g. USB Power, -DATA, +DATA & GND
At first I plugged it in and am using my neightbours SM card from his camera, the green LED didnt light up but windows XP accepted the device and added 4 new drives to the PC but I put the SM card in and nothing happens, then I unplug the SM device and take it apart to have a look I unplugged and replugged it in and now I have it so when I plug the SM card in the green light comes on! GREAT..... but now it doesnt show the device as 4 drives, so now the media card seems to accept the cards, XP doesnt seem to accept the building of new drives. I think maybe ive disconnect or stopped XP's adding of drive feature.
Also
In device manager it lists 4 extra items:
3 * USB Root Hub * 1 * unknown device.
I have downloaded the correct driver from here : http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?action=download&driverid=122984
and here:
www.driverscollection.com
the download file for XP is 1.44Mb
I have also read:
http://www.ecsusa.com/support/CardReader.pdf
and still no look
so if anyone can help me find out why I can not get the drives to appear or the unknown device problem ill be very happy

I am having a similar problem with my 4 in 1 card reader. All drives are detected by XP. No problems in device mannager, but only the compact flash card slot will read a card. No other cards will read.
