Unrecognized CF Card

My CF slot worked fine until I tried using a 2 GB CF card. Now it no longer
recognizes any CF memory card or any other CF device including WF Wireless
LAN Card and CF GPS Receiver. Hard reset did nor solve. Using the Resco
Registry Editor it appears that the CF driver is missing. My SD slot works
fine. I don't need CF for memory, but I would like to be able ro use my
wireless LAN CF card and my GPS CF Card which had worked until I tried that
2GB CF flash memory card. .

Registry shows SD card driver and other stuff, but no CF driver info. It
just seems strange that it would suddenly quit working after trying a 2 GB
CF card. I found a post on HP site about CF problems caused by wrong comm
port being assigned to CF card and it told where to look under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/DRIVERS/ACTIVE. The SD card was in registry, but no CF
card. But under DRIVERS/ACTIVE/BLOCKED, it appears that Samsung Flash driver
is blocked.

Anyone know how to get the driver back or what registry location to use. Is
there any registry repair software for IPAQ 2210?

Thank you,

Charlie

Are you sure it's a software issue? bent CF pins are a pretty common problem
as has been explained in several of my articles.

You've not done a restore using SPB backup have you? This has exactly
this effect.
