Dell Jesse and paindoc. We now have the reader problem resolved. The reader program was still there and we did an repair on the program and put a new shortcut on the desk top. The reader icon came back in my computer and reader is working fine. Thanks for your help. We just tried some things that you were suggesting the area to work on. Sometimes a new thought gets your thinking process started in the right path.
I'm trying to help a friend. The card reader icon has disappeared from his My Computer window. I believe his program is still on computer. Does anyone have any idea on how to retrieve the icon.  He has an Vista OS.
