hi all ,
hope someone can help me , the problem is a mass storage card reader , i have 2 pc's in the home , mine and the kids , both running windows xp pr0 with service packs 1 + 2 , on my pc if i plug the card reader into the usb slot it says found mass storage reader and then i get the box asking for the software disk , but this doesnt have anything on it for win xp as it states that it shall find and install on its own , now on the kids pc i plug the same card reader in and hey presto win xp finds and installs it without asking for the software disk , so can anyone help me solve the problem on my pc so it will automatically install the card reader.
many thanks
dave
