Card reader still not working on W7

Had ago again at trying to get my old card reader to work on W7 ... stilll no luck. The only thing that works on it is the 2 LEDs that say its working and the USB.

It does seem to pick up my SD card but it keeps connecting, disconnecting etc.

Any ideas?

I hate to ask but you have tried disconnecting the card reader from the USB header? Possibly tried another header if you have more than one?

Already tried. I have 3 headers and iv tried all 3.

Is it a nice and generic card reader, or one supplied with the motherboard?

its a cheap thing i bought from hong kong on ebay. It seemed to work with windows XP windows vista and windows 7 RC on my other computer. Just when i bought W7 home premium 64bit it stopped working.

There is nothing right with that sentence i wrote but its true. It worked before.

Ah ok, I'm out then lol.

I wondered if it was a card reader supplied with a motherboard that sometimes need their own drivers before they will actually do anything.
