Hope this helps some other people with similar laptops or Card Readers, post in the comments with your experiences, please include the manufacturer and model of the laptop/netbook you have succeeded with and hopefully you will help someone else with the same devices. After downloading and unzipping the contents of the file to a folder on my Desktop, I was able to point Device Manager at these files for each of the unknown devices I was left with three working devices and a fully operational Card Reader.

So some time with Bing, I found some drivers for various ENE Devices, however the drivers available from VersionTracker seemed promising. This isn’t always the way, as some ] don’t offer drivers leaving that down to the system integrator to offer that service. You can Google/Bing the name and click the download or support links and get the latest drivers. Which has always given me good results with minimum fuss and adverts.Īrmed with the above I identified the manufacturer of the Card Reader was ENE Technologies, sometimes this is all you need to find the driver. There are several sites that allow you to lookup these numbers, I tend to use the publicly available PCI Vendor and Device Lists at. I have marked the two important parts in bold, the four digits after “VEN_” tell you the ] Vendor number, the four digits after “DEV_” tells you device number these two numbers should uniquely identify the driver. What that will give you is one or more strings looking something like this PCI\VEN_ 1524&DEV_ 0530&SUBSYS_009F1025&REV_01

From past experience of looking for drivers without using Windows Update I knew that I could probably identify the manufacturer from the Hardware and Device ID’s available through Device Manager. The Acer website was a bust, as far as Acer are concerned this laptop won’t even run Vista 圆4, so I had to dig deeper.

Windows 7 圆4 was unable to identify a driver for this particular card reader, this left me with three unknown devices in Device Manager: With the release of Windows 7 I wanted to get the system perfect, seeing as hopefully it will last a good year in it’s present state, and I wanted to be able to re-arrange the SD card from my Acer PDA.

I never bothered to install the Card Reader driver on this laptop while I was running the Windows 7 Beta, mainly because I am lazy, but also I didn’t have a need for it so it never came up.

I am typing this on my Acer Aspire 5102WLMi which is one of the popular (if flawed) Acer Aspire 5100 series I rescued this one from the Balconi Test by putting a bit of rubber (it was a cut down rubber foot) on top of the ] chip set, that however is not the story I am telling today. Update (): the drivers listed in this post are out of date and may cause a BSOD, several alternatives are listed in the comments however Microsoft appear to have approved 64-bit drivers on Windows Update.
