SD card reader problem

[lynchbren]

Windows 7 was installed on my VIAO VGN-N11M/W following a system crash and SD card reader no longer functions.  Any advice welcome. Download available on Sony website is not suitable for Windows 7

Have you tried installing the original Texas Instruments MemoryCard driver?  As far as I am aware, this driver was not OS dependent and certailnly worked with Vista with later N-Series Vaios.

However, be aware that this driver does not have a Setup.exe and needs to be installed manually from within Device Manager.  Choose to update the driver, don't search for a driver and manually point the installer to ti21Sony.inf.

You can download the driver as part of the Original Drivers Package here: -
