I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on my Dell Dimension E520 and after upgrading, realized that my TEAC CA-200 card reader no longer worked properly. I went to support.dell.com to see if there were any Windows 7 drivers available, and of course they were not. Luckily, there is a fix. Read on…
Download the Windows Vista drivers from the Dell Support site. (I only tried this with the 32-bit drivers.)
Extract the drivers to the C:\Dell\Drivers\R176587 folder.
Go to that folder, right-click on Imgr32b.exe and go to Properties.
Click on the Compatibility tab and under Compatibility mode, check “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” Then choose “Windows Vista (Service Pack 2).”
Click OK.
Now, double-click to run the file and follow the instructions to install. You must put it into compatibility mode or it will not run. (When I installed, it hung near the end of the install process. I killed the program, and everything still worked fine.
This should do it and everything should be working now.
In my case, it did not work immediately. I had to open up the PC, disconnect the card reader and then reconnect it. Once I did that it was immediately recognized.
We hope you liked our previous post with the amazing social media video. We now bring you another great video called “Did You Know 4.0″ from the “Shift Happens” project. The facts and figures in this one are just as astounding.
Microsoft has released free anti-virus software, Microsoft Security Essentials, and the initial reviews are very good. It is very effective at removing viruses and spyware and also has low memory and resource usage. While this is not an “enterprise-grade” product, it will work very well for home use as well as small business where cost is a factor.
We still routinely recommend Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition for businesses that need more management and control over their distributed software, but we are now recommending Microsoft Security Essentials over AVG Free for home users. Also, AVG Free cannot be used for commercial use, while Security Essentials can.
If you have any older, out-of-date anti-virus software installed, I’d recommend uninstalling it and installing this.
