Following an upgrade from XP to Win7, my external card reader is no longer working.
I've tried the answer here and have Googled around for a solution. Unfortunately, the consistent answer seems to be to install new drivers, and I can't because it's a generic cheapo card reader and I've no idea what the manufacturer and model are.
Are there some generic drivers I can get from somewhere? I tried uninstalling the driver that Windows provided from the device manager and reconnecting the hardware, allowing it to download fresh drivers but still it's not working and although you can plug it in and the light comes on, the drives do not show under Computer.

I can't quite believe this is all it was, or which bright spark at MS chose it to be a default setting, but I found this link and the solution is:
I can't quite believe it. How's a non-techy user supposed to figure that one out with a brand new SD card that'll never show up to give them the option to use it? And I'm a techy myself and it took a shedload of Googling and resorting to posting on here to find the answer. Usability?!
