TEAC CA200 HH 13-1 Card Reader and Windows 7

Tech Support•on December 8th, 2009•18 Comments

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…

  1. Download the Windows Vista drivers from the Dell Support site. (I only tried this with the 32-bit drivers.)
  2. Extract the drivers to the C:\Dell\Drivers\R176587 folder.
  3. Go to that folder, right-click on Imgr32b.exe and go to Properties.
  4. Click on the Compatibility tab and under Compatibility mode, check “Run this program in compatibility mode for:”  Then choose “Windows Vista (Service Pack 2).”
  5. Click OK.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

Hope this helps.

Just used this fix and it worked great for me. I had to disconnect power and reboot for the drivers to auto-install. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I'm afraid mine did not work. But I have the 19-1 Card Reader. so that may be the problem (though it is still the Teac ca200). I did the exact same, but no luck. I have a Dell XPS 420 and just loaded Win7 64 bit. Any suggestions? And just another note, I got an error when running it in compatibility mode as suggested. Said it was supported. Could only do it under XP (SP3). Any help would be appreciated.

Works like a charm. I wonder why it only works with Vista Service Pack 2 instead of Win 7?

Thanks very much! i've waited along time for this fix. I have a inspiron 530, the file that I finally found Imgr32b.exe in is R166859 and needed to install Vista (Service Pack 1) which was the only one that would recognize the driver. It only shows the specific drive when inserted, in Devices with Removable Storage, where it used to show all of them without inserting any. It works and starts Nikon Transfer, I'll take it and smile.

Running Win7 64Bit on a Dell XPS710. Works fine, didn't need to reboot either. Thanks for the advice.

I have Windows 7 64 bit version. Downloaded the VISTA 64 bit version and followed your instructions. Worked like a charm. I had to reboot but once I did that ... my reader is working just fine.

I have Windows 7. In my case, it did not work immediately either, but instead of opening the lid and unplugging the card reader, I shut the computer down completely then powered back on. When it got back to the desktop, the card reader was "properly installed" in device manager and worker properly. So it appears that you can either unplug the card reader and replug, or just power down completely and repower back up like I did.

I also had to unplug before it worked - I couldn't believe that this fixed it! But it really did!

Thanks for the advice I have a dell XPS 720 and had the same problem that you described after upgrading to WIndows 7 from Vista. After trying your suggestion the card readers show up as drives on the computer again and work normally.

Thanks so much. I have the exact same model Dell (e520), and the same problem after upgrading from Vista to Win7. Your "fix" worked perfectly, and now my cardreader shows all the different lettered drives.
