In Device Manager, right-click the device, Properties, Details tab, change dropdown to Hardware Ids ... post the VEN and DEV ID's here. Did you install the chipset drivers FIRST?
Sorry it took me so long to get back but I reinstalled Windows 8- actually did a reset and completely erased all files which took 5+ hours.
However, to answer your question I did update the chipset drivers first. There are 3 of them on Dell's Drivers and Utilities page and with my service tag typed in. After those 3 drivers I installed the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver. Then Audio driver. Then Video driver. Then Realtek Lan driver. Then Quickset. Then Wireless Card 1705/Bluetooth driver. Then Touchpad. I think I am following Dell's instructions correctly as per driver install order.
I have done this at least 5-6 times and every time the error "install memory card reader driver" appears in Action Center. There are no items in Device Manager after I install all of the above drivers. The only way I can get rid of that error is go to Realtek's site (which Action Center pushed me to) and download a driver for what looks like a different Realtek card.
Thanks for your help. I would be very interested in hearing your comments/suggestions.
