this card reader only worked for about a month and then just quit. for a short time if i wiggled the card around i could possibly get it to read...but now nothing. buy something else!

I purchased this product because of the multiple good reviews. Though it should have been able to have been installed on my Windows 98 second edition, my attempt at installing the software crashed the computer. Dell was able to get it running after a very lengthy service call. They suggested that I get the Sandisk support group to guide me through the installation process but the same thing happened again. Neither Sandisk nor Dell has been able to get my computer running again except in Safe Mode. I have returned the product to Amazon and have purchased a new computer. Whether the problem was my aging operating system or the product I do not know, but I certainly won't risk this happening again. I'd have to rate this 0 stars, but this selection is not available.

This card reader requires a 30MB TransferMate application to access the individual slots. Why can't this USB hub run in Plug-And-Play mode?I got this card reader to work once, then I unplugged it and tucked it away until I needed it again. When I went to plug it in later, I was told the driver failed to load because Windows was unable to locate the software for it. That is bad!My PC is a DELL D820 laptop (WinXP Pro, 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD) that I use for work as a software developer, and being a software developer, I feel pretty knowledgable with computers.This device should not be that hard to use!I've tried uninstalling everything, rebooting my PC, then reinstalling the software, but I can't get it to run the card reader any more.It looks pretty, but I recommend you find something simpler.

I bought the Sandisk ImageMate 12 in 1 at Wal-mart and having read reviews here, I expected it to work well. It didn't. Installation instructions were incorrect for Windows 98SE, but I did finally get it installed. I renamed my files, it never happened. No way to put files where I would have chosen. The reader, plugged in and doing nothing, slowed my computer to a haphazard crawl. I'm going to try something else.

I only have SD, Smart and Transflash (using SD adaptor). The reader does what it's suppose to do for these cards. Only complaint is that the light on the reader stay on ALL THE TIME and it's so bright I can almost use it as a night light.

I have had other readers and this one is the best. The photos read very fast and the drive is easy to position on your desk.
