Hi All,
I can't seem to find a WORKING WIndows XP driver for this device. I have managed to find Windows 2000 drivers. However, uipon Installation, Device manager complains that the drivers are not XP-certified. Furthermore, If this warning is ignored, it will simply restart the computer and never boot up again! I tried Safe made but it wouldn't boot either. I eventually had to try the "Last Known Good Configuration" to boot up!
Anyways, It looks like the manufacturer never bothered to provide Windows-xp compatible drivers for this device. Please help if you can!
 
NOTE: I checked the NTCompatible Hardware compatibility list and it says the device works under Widnows 2000.
 
Again, Overview:
 
Hardware device: Simple Tech PhotoReader SmartMedia USB
Problem: Can't find a Windows XP driver. Windows 2000 drivers will cause windows XP to crash!
 
Please do help if you can. I would really appreciate it!
