Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk SDDR-88-A15 8-in-1 USB 2.0 Hi-speed Reader (Retail Package)Customer Review: A Possible Solution To Windows PCs Freezing Up Summary: 4 Stars
In regard to some earlier posts in reference to their computers freezing up I maybe able to shed some light of the subject. When I bought the San Disk 8-in-1 Card Reader it installed with no problemo under my Windows XP [built] system.
I started having problems as soon as I inserted cards for the device to read. My screen would blank out and my computer would re-boot. Everytime I tried to insert and use a Secure Digital [SD] or Compact Flash {CF} card I would get the same result over and over with a black screen and re-boot.
So I called San Disk for tech support and they asked me if I had Norton AntiVirus installed on my machine. I said that I did and they said that more than likely I needed to disable a "scan removable media" option from Norton AntiVirus. I unchecked this option and sure enough the San Disk card reader works without a hitch. What is happening [according to San Disk] is that Norton AntiVirus is looking to scan your card slots/ports for viruses when you mount a card into one of the slots and that can cause various PC machines to CRASH!
Now because I have Norton SystemWorks 2003 [with Antivirus] on my machine, I can take you through the steps. But if you have a stand-alone version of Norton AntiVirus your menu navigation may be different but I'm sure you can burrow through the options and follow me with my demostration below:
First, launch Norton SystemWorks and wait for the Norton SystemWorks pop-up menu to appear.
Second, at the top on the horizontal menu click the big yellow "Options" button and from the mini pulldown menu you want to select "Norton AntiVirus".
Third, a "Norton AntiVirus Options" dialog box will appear. On the left hand side at the very top of the vertical navigation menu pane click on "Auto-Protect" and under its pulldown menu choose "Advanced".
Fourth, to the right of the navigation menu pane you will see a sub-heading called "What activities to monitor when using floppy disks". Under that UNCHECK "SCAN ALL REMOVABLE MEDIA FOR BOOT VIRUSES EVERYTIME IT IS MOUNTED". Click "OK" to exit the dialog box and close the previous one under that, too.
Once the above option is UNCHECKED, then this may solve your crashing/freezing up problem. If it does then that's great! But be CAUTIOUS now because you have disabled auto-protect for removable media. This means that you must be careful that your media cards are VIRUS FREE when you insert them into the card reader. So be warned when borrowing your friend's or family's cards and can't verify what content is on them.
I hope this helps someone.
