Omar, WMP has an option menu that has a devices page. That's where I think your problem lies.

Thanks.

Check which devices WMP is recognizing -- one of them is likely your card reader. I suggest reinstalling WMP with the card reader installed.

I installed a USB smart media card reader on my computer today, and i just discovered that it's causing the problem with windows media player. Is this possible?

Any ideas? Thanks. Omar Binno www.omarbinno.com
