Hi Amro, You said "..sorted by someone removing them and refitting them back in." Does this mean that they physically removed them? In other words took the unit out of the machine and re-fitted it? George.

Further more, I tried restoring my system to an earlier point now and it didn't work. So I'd really appreciate any help. Hi again George, Not sure. Never had to install any drivers for the readers; they came already fitted in the main tower. I think that they're plug and play readers. Few weeks back something similar happened and it was sorted by someone removing them and refitting them back in. What are my options to sort these kind of problems? Reboot, scan for hardware changes, mess around with the hardware manager, reinstall the drivers if I have them on a CD, physically reinstall the device, and what else please? I'd like to leave the option of restoring my system to an earlier point as the last result as it's a work around the issue rather than solving it. Many thanks for your help. Cheers, Amro
