The computer and I see the lights on of the magnetic stripe but
When windows is running nothing is on. I wanted to read some
Cards that I have but I don’t know what to do. Im guessing I need
A driver or software can someone help me with this issue

I would try and contact or email IBM tech support for drivers and software. It is probably not supported in windows.

I've asked the moderators for input on whether this is a permissable question. In the wrong hands, the information requested could do a lot of harm.

i just want to know if that thing works so i can sell it
my friend used to write the card info for the rooms in
his motel, he got a new one and gave this one to me.
I do agree with byundt on this. Mainly because these readers are used by the retail market and by financial institutions for credit cards.
