    Hello I have a Dell E1705, and recently I have reformatted my harddrive. I have installed all the drivers I need, and everything is working fine except for my card reader. In device management, under " Secure Digital Host Controllers", it has Microsoft's driver installed, and that is the wrong one, because it simply won't read any of the cards I place inside the slot, and I have a 1GB SD card and MSPro, and they will not come up in Windows Explorer, so there is no way to work with them inside the system, though it is still recognized to be safely ejected from the system. What is wrong? I downloaded the drivers from Dell and installed it, but that simply doesn't work. When I uninstalled it from my system, it did not come up with the new found hardware wizard, just moved along like nothing happened. Has this ever happened to you?
