T510 Windows XP 64bit - Multi Card reader no longer working

[yammer]

Just installed XP 64 bit from XP 32 because i finally got tired of windows only recognizing 2GB of RAM.

I have just discovered the multi card reader no longer works (it worked just a few days ago with the 32 bit xp).

i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver (6hss03ww.exe - Ricoh Multi Card Reader Driver) several times, with no luck.

i do not have any uninstalled drivers, or highlighted items in the device manager.

Has anyone else ever has this issue, or can offer some advice? i am a bit at a loss... and ready to dump this thing out the window and buy a mac...

Hello mate,

Lenovo doesn't support windows xp 64-bit. If you have a look in the readme file it says

 Added support for Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (on ThinkPad
  W510 only).

Install windows vista or 7 if you want a 64-bit OS.

Yes, i read that driver was only for the W series after my original post.

However, i was thinking that there should be a solution somewhere...

As when i bought the thing, one of the OS options was WIN XP 64 bit, which is why i am perplexed as to why they would not post the driver to the driver download page.

Thanks for your help!
