Thanks for the update. Have you tried the mfg site or chipset site to see
if there may be a specific driver for it. The default driver may be just
for the 5-6 most common cards and may have a problem with the reader BIOS
for some others. Windows update would only offer a better one if it is
approved and most readers aren't going to pay the fee for such a small
installed base. Good luck.
