Hello. I installed a Ican card reader. The driver CD that came with it opens a realtek driver installation which MAKES me assume its a realtek card reader. however after installing it i get a triangle with an ! and in the submenu from device manager it says

"the device cannot start" 

I had the driver which i downloaded but i forget how to get it. no where on the box does it tell me a MODEL number. how to get a hardware id in device manager for my card reader? im running win 7 ultimateTo get the device ID, right click on the device in device manager, go to properties, details, then change the dropdown box to hardware IDs.  If you post the first part here, e.g. VEN_13F6&DEV_8788 then that should assist us in finding an updated driver for you, if one is available.thats the problem. i right clickon the device that has the issue go to the hardware id and there is no vendor or device.. is there a program that will tell me?

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]It's an infrared reciever...which 7 should have a native driver for ...
Right clik the device listings (2) and select un-install.
Re-boot and Windows should automatically re-install the device.

P.S. I cannot see the card reader in your screenshot...alright. i will try that once i get home. in the mean time. what sub folder or better yet under which device WOULD the card reader be listed under?I think by default it may be a hidden device...put a card in it and then do the following and re-boot:
