#PROBLEMS WITH COMPACT FLASH CARD READERS WINDOWS 10#
My money is on the codec pack in Windows 10 tripping over the TIFFs from an older camera. Perhaps Mike (BigMackCam) could tell us which camera created the TIFF files involved.
If the com surrogate fails to terminate then the external drive involved will show as busy until either it finally terminates or you "end process" it. Com surrogates are processes launched by programs to handle jobs such as thumbnail extraction (and a zillion other things), which then terminate when the job is complete.
#PROBLEMS WITH COMPACT FLASH CARD READERS DRIVER#
If it was a driver problem then the OS wouldn't have mounted the CF card reader at all and Windows would have thrown its unhelpful little "Device not recognised" pop-up. Only use the CF input when I drag out my istD so it doesn't get a lot of use.ĭrivers wouldn't have anything to do with a com surrogate going non-responsive and failing to terminate, which was the original issue. Not a Hama reader but a 7 day shop proprietary one with no special drivers.
Well, I just tried a CF card in my reader (only 1Gb) and it behaved fine, same Win 10 build as yours. After the drive is recognized by the system (you can see that in device manager if it is not shown in the File Explorer) then insert the CF and watch what happens.

After starting up connect the drive again to the PC without a card inserted. Disconnect the card and start the PC again. Delete it from the system and turn the PC off. Another thing you can do is after you have connected the cardreader to the pc without a card inserted to it,go to Device Manager and look for the Hama drive. If it works the right way you should see (unless empty drives are not shown in windows 10) a drive letter for each of the reader slots. It explains to me why you get the warning about the drive. I would expect that you get a driveletter such as G or onwards, which are reserved for external drives. What happens then? What struck me is that you get driveletter D: which is reserved for a hard drive or a partition on a hard drive. Thanks in advance!Hello BigMackCam, perhaps you can try this: connect your cardreader to the PC and wait for it to be recognized by Windows. Alternatively, any ideas or pointers would be just as welcome. If any of my fellow members have experienced this and can offer a solution, I'd be most grateful. I get the same problem using a second laptop with the same OS build. I'm running Windows 10 (3, build 19043), and the reader doesn't use a proprietary driver. When reading SD and xD cards, it works perfectly. This only seems to happen with CF cards (or, rather, the one CF card I've tried).
There doesn't appear to be any damage to the files, but it's a little concerning nonetheless.Įven if I don't use Windows Photo Viewer and instead simply copy the files from the reader to my laptop's main drive, when I come to eject the D: drive, I get the error message above. I've repeated this process numerous times opening the same and different files on the CF card, with exactly the same results. If you choose to continue, the files will be closed, which might cause data to be lost."If I continue, the drive is ejected. Save any open files on this disc, and then close the files or programs using the files before trying again. If I now try to eject the D: drive by clicking on the icon in my system tray, I get the following error dialog: If you close the program, you might lose information."When I choose to close the program, the OS reports the problem to Microsot and then it closes. If I click the close button again, I get the following error dialog: Now, if I click the window close (X) button to close the viewer, it closes the photo but not the application, which - after a short period - displays "(Not responding)" in the title bar.
I navigate to the photos (in this case, they're TIFF files), double click on one to open it with Windows Photo Viewer, and the photo displays as expected. The reader appears as drive "D:" on my system. I insert the CF card into the reader, then plug the reader's USB cable into my laptop. It works well generally, but I'm running into a (thus far, minor) problem when using it with Compact Flash - specifically, a Cisco 256Mb Type II card (I haven't tried it with any others yet). I recently bought a Hama USB multi-format card reader, as I own a variety of older cameras that use Compact Flash, SmartMedia, FujiFilm xD etc.
