A family member has an HP laptop, model number HP G70-460US. I upgraded Microsoft Windows on the system from Vista to Windows 7 a few weeks ago. Today, when she tried using memory sticks from her camera in the media card reader built into the laptop, Windows Explorer would stop responding. I attempted to restart Windows Explorer, but it wouldn't restart. Nor could I shutdown and restart the system without powering it off using the power button.
I tried a couple of memory sticks, but the result was the same. She could sometimes move files from a memory stick, but then attempting to access the memory stick again would cause the Windows Explorer to stop responding.
I downloaded and installed the Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader driver, which appears to have resolved the problem.| Released: | 2009-08-28 |
