Mikomi card reader (by 4 users)

Hi

 

I just bought a mikomi card reader and although the computer can see the reader it doesn't seem to be able to see the card when I put it into the reader.  When I plug the usb into the computer a red light comes on on the reader, when I put the compact flash card into the reader a green light also comes on.  When I go into windows explorer I can see the extra drives but when I click on any of them I get an error message asking me to insert a disc.

 

I am using windows vista.

 

thanks

I would if they had a website but they don't seem to, at least I can't find it if they do.  Thanks anyway

Hi, I have contacted Argos and they gave me the contact details for Mikomi so I am going to call them on Monday and see if they can help, have a feeling it's going to be a 'no' but fingers crossed

ok, I called 'Mikomi' Argos and they have no idea how to get it to work, whether there is a driver for it or how to contact Mikomi directly to see if there is a 'fix'. The only suggeston they had was to bring it back to the shop and get a refund!!!!

Same issues as Doodles problem. Annoying that there is no website to offer advice or support.

you may have to check the manufacturers website for a vista compatible driver (as it seems that the generic driver is not working here.)

it may be a generic / relabled kit.  hopefully there should be a model number on it somewhere, try googling that.

What is the model Number? Should be on the underside somewhere.

I also have one of these readers and bought a 4gig SD card. When I put it into the reader, I also had the same error message to insert a card into the drive. I was told by a colleague that the reader may not be able to read a card bigger than 2 gigs.
