This post is not for faint of heart...
Speaking of drivers.... I need a driver for my SS/MMC card reader.
Here's the scoop. I have a new camera (NIKON-COOLPIX L11)
I also bought a card reader from the camera shop. (RITZ Camera). USB 2.0. It uses a SANDISK 2Gb memory card.
Problem is that I use a Windows 98SE computer system and a separate driver is required. (So stated on the package).( XP and above are ok).
OK, no problem. The store does not supply the driver CD, even though it is listed in the literature as being supplied at time of purchase.
The alternative method is to download from the manufacturer.. DIGITAL CONCEPTS.
From their website I was able to find an image of the reader (attached) and determined that it was the CR-10 something series. There was a choice of 6 differing model No's. Which one do I have?
Problem is that my unit has a RITZ part number on it (Model# 81-166-0257) instead of the real model # CR-10 or CR-35 etc.
Note: I am also using a CR-30M for my Sony camera - Memory Stick and it works great.
The sales staff could not help me. I contacted the Dig Con. people... they could not help me. I then went to another computer store to find the identical model...no luck. They had a newer version model CR-35TD-R, but it also required a downloaded driver for the 98SE.
Then I tried to download the driver CR-10TD-R and also the CR-35TD-R and found that those drivers led me to a "cannot find" site, even though the other five drivers were available, just not the one that I needed. SHISH.
Upon checking multi-multi websites and forums I found that this problem was prevalent.
Now I know that we are only talking about a $20 gadget, but what to do? Other makes have the same problem: Extra driver required.
I am hoping that some of you great folks can steer me in the right direction, a.) sympathize with me (don't tell me to get a new computer) b.) tell me what you have done with your 98SE, or..... tell me to go and sit down and fergeddaboutit.
Your tolerance and patience and help will be much appreciated.
