rate0 I had a USB Mass Storage Device appear in Device Manager on our XP Pro eMachines computer. Seems responsible for removable disks in Device Manager. I ran the trial version of Security Task manager, and it listed these removable disks when I selected Digital Media Reader. Security Task Manager listed several errors in the Text in File section (bottom right), so I uninstalled Digital Media Reader. The removable disks are still there. Not sure I should have uninstalled Digital Media Reader. Can anyone help?  
rate1 Seems likely that it is a legitimate file for the e-machine card reader.   TecBrat
rate0 It says it's a Multimedia Card Reader by Alcor Micro, Corp. I have it on my eMachines PC.   Avi Green
rate1 Loads on start up on Gateway pc's for Digital Media Manager   Cookieblz
rate1 It works for the card reader but like all eMachine products is buggy on some models by not enabling flash drives and making windows think a drive is not ready in the scans.  
rate1 It is part of Digital Media Manager ports. Only after doing SP2 for windows did this error come about.  See also: Link   Mohel
rate1 Its for most standard (Non-Branded) Internal Media Card readers, regrardless of the system manufacturer.   Jordan
