Summary: Worked great....
Review: ...with Windows ME, but not at all with Windows XP. A search of the manufacturer's website uncovered no new driver either. ...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Won't work for Memory Stick Pro
Review: Fast and reliable. Very simple and intuitive product. Our only complaint is that occasionally the computer won't recognize it and we have to unplug it and replug it on our Windows 98 SE PC.

Summary: Recommended Buy
Review: I am extremely pleased with this product. I installed it on a Dell with Microsoft ME without any problems. No extra drivers or software were required, I just plugged it in to the USB port and let ME add the hardware.

To use the reader you insert a memory stick, then select it just like any other drive from Explorer, Paint Shop Pro, etc. When you're done you "eject" the media through a software command in the Tool Tray. This closes the drive, at which point you can remove the stick. Easy enough!

I have used both Sony and Lexar sticks in this reader without a problem.

Summary: Won't work for Memory Stick Pro
Review: I bought this product to use with my 512MB Lexar Memory Stick PRO. Unfortunately, my XP Professional computer wouldn't recognize it. I contacted Lexar tech support, and at least they were honest enough to say it wouldn't work with the PRO versions. They recommended the Lexar Multi-Card Reader 2.0, which they said could read memory stick PROs up to 1GB.

Summary: Windows XP cannot find the driver for it!
Review: I followed the instructions and Windows XP is unable to find a driver for the USB Memory Stick. I called their support, nobody answered. I tried their IM Live support, and nobody is home.

The same thing occurs on two separate Windows XP systems, both detect the USB Memory Stick hardware and both claim not to find a driver for it.

Finally, Lexar support e-mailed me back (they never returned my phone call as promised) and pointed me to an FTP site with an updated driver for Windows XP (not reachable via their web pages). Now it works. (I own a previous revision reader I had bought that claims not to support Windows XP and it works too now, so I didn't even need to buy this updated revision.)

Summary: Easy stuff
Review: I had purchased the Dazzle "Universal" memory stick reader and came to find out that it does not read Lexar sticks. So, I picked up this product and it works great.

I am running Windows XP and simply had to plug this into my USB port and I was on my way. Works with the Sony 16M stick that came with my digicam as well.

Summary: Good Price, Great Performance
Review: I just got a 128 MB Stick and the Memory Stick Reader (both from Lexar) for my Sony Digital Camera. Both packages were almost impossible to open, but that's OK. I've heard some complaints about Windows XP driver-compatibility, but I didn't have any problem at all. You can't beat the prices in comparison with Sony products.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exactly as advertised!
Review: I opened the package and plugged the reader into my USB port, stuck the stick in, which in this case is a sony stick from a cybershot and whoop there it is! The new device showed up and I was immediately able to access the files. I like that ALOT!
