For trouble shooting for downloading the software & connecti8ng the unit, I was advised from the manufacture Vivitar; Try using a different USB connection, Please check the memory card you are using, and note that a 8 GB memory card is the max allowance. Please re-start the PC Please try a different memory card which is less than 2 or 4 GB of storage capacity. This is listed as an easy plug & play installation & you should not have to worry about the software.

Q: I plugged this into a USB port on my Win XP laptop (WinXP Professional, SP3 level), and plugged in a new SDHC 4 GB card. My system shows a "drive G" that is new, but there is nothing in the window showing the pictures I have on the card. I checked in Microsoft support, and tried to install a hotfix from 2006 for this problem, but the install process says I have no need to install the fix at my SP level. Can anyone help? Asked on 12/10/2009 by Hal from Niles, IL Know the answer? Answer this question 5 answers A: First, double check to make sure there actually are photos on the SD card as opposed to the camera’s internal memory. Typically if when you click the removable disk drive that comes up when you insert your memory card, and you see a blank window, it would indicate that there are no contents on your card. You might also want to try using another memory card to confirm your results. Answered on 12/23/2009 by Customer Care from Staples A: Hal here again -- solved the problem in a weird way. It turned out that my HP all-in-one printer had to be unplugged from the system for the computer to recognize and properly handle the SD card reader and of course the SD card. I also had problems with the system recognizing my Nikon S70 camera when plugged directly into the USB port as long as the printer was also plugged in. Yes, weird, but the printer also has a multiple memory card reader built in, and somehow that interfered with recognizing and handling anything else. When I want to use the new SD card, either in the card reader, or while in the camera, I simply unplug the printer first, then boot up, and do what I need to do. Answered on 1/6/2010 by Hal from Niles, Illinois A: Do you have a photo program? If so open the photo program and look in that drive for the picts. Might help if u do it that way. Answered on 12/22/2009 by Lynn from indy, in A: In answer to the first part of your question, any USB device you plug in will automatically give the new drive letter. If your machine is recognizing a new drive, then the card must be good. The only thing that I can think of, did you use the card in a camera that did not recognize the newer larger card/or is the card a new "HC" style faster card?? Answered on 12/22/2009 by Big Al from Iowa A: Go into MY COMPUTER and click on the drive letter. It will work just like a floppy disc. You can drag and drop, or save to, or open from the drive letter. Answered on 1/5/2010 by Mark12211 from Upstate New York

Q: What is the purpose of the USB cable that comes with this card reader? One end is a regular USB plug, the other end has a "receiver" (i.e. fits a USB plug). The packaging & manufacturer website does not reference this cable. Neither does the Staples product description. Asked on 10/8/2009 by Meigs Know the answer? Answer this question 3 answers A: This is a USB extension cable. It can be useful if your USB ports are in hard to reach places. Answered on 10/21/2009 by Customer Care from Staples A: Sometimes the footprint of the reader is too big to use in laptops with another item plugged into the other usb port. So this allows the user to use both usb ports at the same time. You can also use the cable as an extension with any usb cable. Answered on 10/20/2009 by whatisthis from Freedom, CA A: Think of it as an extension cord...based on configuration, not everyone can plug the reader directly into their PC or notebook computer. You plug the reader into the cable, and then plug the cable into your USB port. I thought it was obvious. Answered on 10/27/2009 by Photog from Minnesnowta
