Can't read from Sandisk SDHC 8gb card

Just installed the hotfix (WindowsXP-KB934428-v3-x86-ENU.exe) from MS and my
computer still won't read my new 8gb Sandisk SDHC card. The computer has a
built in card reader and is using Windows XP. It reads a 2gb card fine. I
can plug the camera into a USB port and can read the card and download the
pictures fine. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

You probably need to get a new card reader that is compatible with SDHC. I
don't think that a software upgrade will upgrade the hardware to make it
work. Kinda like how software won't make a DVD player become a Blue Ray disk
player.

Same problem here. Get a USB to SDHC Card Reader. Got mine from eforcity.com

Let me second Gary Mount & olfart...

Works fine with the right reader.

BTW, Radio Shack sometimes sells a Targus TGR-CRD25 multi-format card
reader for about $10, which in my case does a fine job of reading SDHC
in its SD slot.

A second BTW: the reader I mentioned is Shack stock number 16-293.
