LG Wireless Phone

Help with my SD reader in my Acer laptop please!!!?

I have an Acer Aspire 5720 laptop with a built in SD card reader. I also have a LG Chocolate Spin phone with a 2GB memory stick. I haven't updated my music or pictures on my cell phone lately so I took the SanDisk MicroSD, inserted it into the MicroSD/TransFlash Adapter, and inserted that into the SD reader on my computer. Now when I have done this in the past, a little box pops up with choices such as open the folder to explore it's content, view images with Windows media...etc. Now that I have tried it again, the first time in inserted the disk, Windows made that "duh-duh" sound to let me know that there is additional hardware detected, it searched for drivers, and then proceeded to make the other "duh-duh" sound to say that it disconnected. I tried rebooting and reinserting the disk multiple times, and I get the alert sound again that an external hardware source is detected, the remove hardware safely icon pops up in my icons, and before I can do anything, it immediately disconnects and that icon disappears. There is no additional sources of external storage when I access My Computer either. This would be a lot easier if I hadn't lost my usb cable that connects my cell phone directly to the computer, but at this point, I'm kinda stuck with having the music and pictures that I currently have and I'm unable to update it at this time. Any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue? Is it a problem with my SD card reader? A problem with the adapter card? Or a driver that hasn't been updated? I'll appreciate any suggestions possible! Thanks!

1. More than likely there is a software conflict with your laptop. Several options: 1. Do a system restore to a point where it was working. 2. Download and reinstall the SD reader drivers from your manufacturer website 3. Get a USB cable and/or an SD-to-USB external reader You could check the leads on your card/adapter and make sure they're clean--use only a soft cleaning cloth.
