Happy New Years to all

For some reason, my card readers are no longer detected. I have re-booted twice and they are simply not showing up anymore. Any ideas/suggestions?

Windows Vista SP1 Family Premium
8G RAM
ATI 2600 HD graphics card
750G HDD

Thanks

Do the show in Device Manager?

Did you check the connections inside the computer to make sure they're still fully connected?

OK was able to narrow down the issue. SInce the card readers disappear, I need to power down, unplug and wait. Then on reboot the card readers are back. I then was able to read SD cards but when I inserted the XD card, all the readers disappeared again. SO it would seem the issue is with the XD reader. I did open the computer and made sure all was inserted properly.
