Thanks PCJ
Yes sir, the problem and message I was getting that the USB port is not recognizing the device plugged into it.
Now, I also have a USB video cam plugged into the other USB front port and it works just fine. However, it is a different story with that crummy reader I tried last evening. A windows message comes up telling me it isn;t recognizing the device....
It knows its there, it just doesn't know what it is.
I hope this new one is better.
