The Driver Genius program doesn't even list the drive at all. I don't deal much with drivers therefore is the self-installing program actually supposed to do something on it's own ever? I tried to link to the folders where the. How do I defeat that? The realtek drivers all seem to be self-installing programs yet they do nothing. I've never had a drive where the computer insisted no driver was necessary. Then it claims the device doesn't even need a driver to function. When I go to it and try to troubleshoot and install a driver it will search online or go where i direct it on the PC. When I restart it tells me there is a USB device malfunctioning. So most of the solutions don't work based on that since it needs a driver to tell it what the device is (an internal card reader) but it refuses to install any drivers because it doesn't know what it is. Windows can't even determine what "unknown device" is or even its category. Advise?įirst off I sadly can't uninstall the driver, there IS no driver, windows absolutely refuses to assign any driver at all to the device. I am not very tech savy and this was the extent of what I can do on my own. I have no other idea where I can go from here. I also tried disabling unknown device then installed the driver software and restarting then reenabling the device. Maybe this isn't even the driver for this device? It is what the service tag claims is the driver for it. I also used the dell website to search for a driver as well. Device manager claims there is no driver (aka no driver is the best driver to be installed). The device manager then tells me that "the best driver software for your device is already installed". I then chose "browse my computer for driver software" and browsed and selected the folder of which the realtek driver dell claims goes to this piece of garbage is in. I then went into device manager and selected "unknown device" and went to "update driver". I installed the driver and followed it's installation instructions. I've recently been trying to get it to work because apparently it is just to much to ask that the hardware of which I paid for actually work. Apparently Dell didn't feel the need to install a driver for this to begin with. For some reason the internal SD card reader has always been "unknown device" since I received the laptop. I have a dell Inspiron N5010 purchased 11/2010.
