OK....so its not just me!! Good to know. I just built a new PC with an Asus A7V8X-X board and AMDxp2500 and......the same 61s2b card reader....and mine doesnt work right either. I lost track of how many times i installed and unistalled the driver. Im using 2000pro which has version 1.7 driver in it for this reader. I also uninstalled it and downloaded the 1.8v driver from ECS website but same result. It works with a Compact flash card but wont with a sony memory stick. All 4 drive letters appear in my computer but say to insert disk when a memory card is installed. I get no warning messages when using the w2000 pro driver but when i install the driver from ECS website i get a message on boot up that says "warning the card reader does not recognize your motherboard." Glad to know its not just me and im not a total moron for not being able to install a simple device correctly. Nice of ECS to inform resellers of the compatibility issue...and for resellers to NOT inform retail customers. I cant imagine we're the only 2 people who have ever had this problem. I'm returning mine now that i know for sure its not just me.
