  1. Media Card Reader not working


    Since updating my device from Windows 7 to Win10, I've not been able to utilise my media card reader. It never seems to recognise when a media card has been inserted.


    I have a HP Pavillion Media Centre PC which i have updated a few things on before upgrading to Win10. I have an MSI MS-7A39 system.


    Can someone please advise on how i get the media card slots working. When i take a media card out of the slot, a notification pops up in bottom right


    "Removable Disk (FMedia Card Reader not working :)
    Select what happens with removable drives"


    When i click on it, the only option is Configure storage settings. Upon clicking, i get an error dialog saying

    "F:\

    The directory name is invalid"


    This is annoying me as i can't seem to get my dashcam videos onto my PC, so much that I purchased a fujifilm media card reader only for that to also not work, was told to run the hardware troubleshooter in order to get the appropriate driver for the device, but i no longer have the hardware troubleshooter.

    :)
