My friend got a new HD sony camera the other day, that records in AHVCD format or some wierd thing like that. Anywho, he's on XP SP3 and I'm on vista SP1...Simply put, the camera reads the disk fine. But either of our computers nor my canon camera even recognize a disk has been inserted to the media reader.

If he plugs the camera straight to the computer, he can view the files, and that's about it..anything else causes it to lock up, as like mine.

I noticed the SD card is a kingston..has their quality dropped that far, or is there somethign we need to change for our computers to read?

I put my camera's sandisk SD card in the reader and it works fine.

I'm also trying the reader on my XP machine, again, works on sandisk...not kingston.
