SOLUTION 2 - Verify the reader's status under Device Manager.
STEP 1 - Connect the reader to the PC
NOTE: It is recommended that you plug your card reader to the back USB port on your PC to ensure that there is enough power from the USB port for the card reader to be detected properly.
STEP 2 - Check under Device Manager
1. Right-click My Computer.
2. Select Manage.
3. On the left pane, click Device Manager.
NOTE: The card reader will appear in two places: Disk Drives and Universal Serial Bus controls as USB Mass Storage. If there is a yellow exclamation point (!) or question mark (?) next to the device, try to refresh the drivers.
STEP 3 - Refresh the drivers
1. Right-click the entry with the error mark, select Uninstall.
2. On the top menu, click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes.
STEP 4 - Verify if the reader is detected
1. Double-click My Computer.
2. Look for the card reader under Devices with removable storage.

A yellow exclamation point (!) under Device Manager usually means that the device is not receiving enough power. If the reader is not receiving ample amount of power from the USB port, it may not function properly.
SOLUTION 4 - Change the drive letters
NOTE: The SDDR-89, SDDR-189, SDDR-289 reader should show 4 drive letters underMy Computer.
SCM Microsystems has introduced its new Dazzle 6 in 1 Card Reader. It's a USB-based device that enables Mac and Windows users to transfer digital content from various media.
Conclusion The Dazzle package is low-cost and easy pinnacle dazzle dvc90 use but, since the hardware pinnacle dazzle dvc90 much of the work to the PC, it needs a well-spec’d PC. Using outdated or corrupt Pinnacle Systems Dazzle DVC90 drivers can cause system errors, crashes, and cause your computer or hardware to fail. I bought a Dazzle 6-in-1 card reader many years ago, for use with my PC. Now that I'm using a macbook I can't get it to recognise SD cards. In fact, the mac does not recognise that anything at all has been inserted.
SCM calls the Dazzle 6 in 1 the first device to accept six different types of media in a dual-slot design. The company said that the Dazzle 6 in 1 can read any flash media from any digital device, and can be upgraded to support future formats. The dual-slot design takes CompactFlash Type I and II, IBM Microdrive, SmartMedia, SD Card, MultiMediaCard and Sony Memory Stick.
The device's two slots work concurrently, as well, which means that you can transfer data directly between the media. It can be used as a removable disk drive, according to SCM, with USB plug-and-play capability. It's mass-storage compliant, requiring no additional software drivers to be installed. (The device comes with Dazzle OnDVD software, but it's Windows-compatible only.)
Dazzle Usb Card Reader
The Dazzle 6 in 1 is expected to hit stores in November with a suggested retail price of US$69.99. Look for it at retailers including CompUSA, Best Buy, Fry's, Micro Center, Office Depot, Staples and Sears.
