Help! Memory card reader doesn't work

My memory card reader was fine, however after reinstalling Vista Ultimate it won't work.

It shows up as "Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller" in Device Manager. However I've tried multiple SD cards and it just won't recognize that anything has been inserted. The computer doesn't pause or show any indication that it's doing something when I insert a memory card.

I have a Ferrari 4006WLMi with Windows Vista Ultimate.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers several times already. I have also upgraded to the latest BIOS

Any ideas? I need to use a 4GB SDHC card as RAM via Readyboost...

I had the same problem when I did a clean install of Vista Ultimate. I found a solution here:

I used the Ferrari 4000 'cardread' driver from here:

Worked like a charm!

basically any TI driver over version 2.0.0.7a will allow SDHC card to be read. regardless of who provides the driver.

here is one from acer, works for 32 and 64bit vista, it is 2.0.0.8
