Inspiron 570: memory card reader doesn't work in Windows 8

Hi everyone. I recently just upgraded to windows 8 and notice that my media card reader is not working. My usb works fine but when I try putting in my memory card on the slot, nothing happens. Is there a program I have to download or a driver??

Hopefully someone can help?? :(

Hi gpratts,

Do you see any question marks in device manager?

Yes, I understand that. What I'd like you to do is check device manager (in control panel) and tell me if there are any question marks. A question mark in device manager indicates there is a device for which no device driver has been installed.

I went to device manager and I don't see any question marks. Everything looks fine there. :(

Ok, strange why it doesn't work. I would go to the AMD site and see if they have a chipset driver for Windows 8. You have an AMD chipset SB710.
