Check to see if you are inserting the card in the correct slot. Make sure you are using a working USB port. Try inserting an external hard drive in the same slot and see if it boots up. Also make sure you have current USB 3.0 drivers installed. Check your card with another computer or a card reader you know works. If you have the card in the correct slot, have the cable in a working USB port, have the current drivers and can't access your card, but the card works with another reader then it's possible you have a defective unit.

I use Windows 7 Home Premium X64 and it is working fine.It will run off of a USB 2.0 port as well, just slower than USB 3.

Works on Windows 8/7/Vista/XP, even 98. Also OSX (Lion, Mountain, Mavericks). When you say doesn't work, does the device itself show up in Device Manager?

I have purchased this product and am using it on a windows seven computer in the USB 2.0 port. It seems to work fine for me.

I use this reader exclusively on Windows 7 in a USB 3.0 port. It works well and fast. If your having a problem it may be your particular unit.

G. Powers,That is possible. Have you tried any other cards? I have not had any issues at all with this reader. If not try connecting the device directly to the computer, good luck my friend.

This reader only reads ATA Flash cards. Not very reliable. Problems with Windows 7 and above.If you need something to read SRAM or Linear Flash ... let me know. This is not it.

It does work with Windows 7. It reads other processors like Microsoft Word with aplomb. I cut and paste into Microsoft Outlook without problem, and I presume it works with other email programs, too.

The one that I have is specifically for MAC so it does not work with windows. If I am not mistaken there is one that will work with PC computers though. I cannot find any specific version information, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Sorry, I am using only Windows 7.. worked great. It should work as well, from same Microsoft family.

I have Windows 8 and it works fine. Windows 7 isn't that old. This is simply a keypad.

It doesn't need a _driver_ to work with Windows 8, it needs a _firmware_update_, which is better (doesn't alter Windows). Details are on SanDisk's site at kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12483/kw/reader%20adapter%20SDDR%20289%20firmware . (Hope that link survives Amazon parsing. If not, go to SanDisk's support area and search on "SDDR 289 firmware".)

I couldn't find any...It may be built in to windows 7 buy now.... I would try another one because of win8 platform and the lack of support for the older ones. Ive stopped using mine because it caused freezing and lock ups.

I did a Google search and found several. SanDisk is one. Or, you can ask the tech support for any Media Reader to furnish one. Note: it is almost cheaper to buy a cheap computer with Windows 7 than to buy a Windows 7 outright.

I also wan to know if it works with windows 7. I don't want to purchase it if it does not. Can someone answer please that has tried it.

If you found out an answer to this problem let me know. I am trying to use it on a windows, from a mac, and it wont even read it.

IF this will work with Windows 7, the cards I have for my camera say smartmedia on them....would this reader take that card? My camera is older and drivers are available for Windows 7. This would be an easy and cheap fix.

I have Windows 7 and it works, if that answers your question. It's phrased a little funny so I'm not too sure what you mean.

I do not know the answer. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer. I have Windows 7, and it works fine to upload my readings to the computer, then to DropBox and on to my client.

Sorry I'm running Windows 7 and it works with it. Don't know if it will work with other operating systems.

These readers will work with windows 8. All they really do is decode the data from the magentic strip. The data can be read directly in word or notepad. For specific software entry questions please contact your software representative.
