Hi Mervyn,

There are no new Memory Card Read/Write Drivers for Windows 7.

You will need to reinstall the original Vista drivers - you can download the 3 Ricoh memory Card Drivers from here: -

Hi Mervyn,

The driver is available on the Sony US website. The name of the file is RIDFMC-70159631-32.exe A Google search for this file name will take you to the site. It works perfectly.

Regards,

Dave

I think a system restore is also an option here. Hopefully if there's a restoration point made initially when this is working fine.

If Peter's suggestion fails then I would try installing the SD Card drivers which are available for download on the Sony VGN-Z5 series download site here: -

http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/VGN-Z5/updates

Look in the Preinstalled Drivers section and install ALL THREE drivers for SD, MS and SD CPRM. These drivers should be compatible as the Z5-Series was released with Windows 7 installed at the factory.

You may also find other Win 7 drivers there of use.

Try downloading and installing the driver directly as Windows may be trying to install an incorrect version.

Simply Google for "RIDFMC-70159631-32.exe" and the third result should be the download page.

If that fails to work, try the following...

Right-click Computer then Properties
Click Device Manager
Right-click the SD reader slot, then click Uninstall
Restart your computer and Windows should detect and install it
