| Appears to Come on emachines for the Card Reader installed | |
| doesnt slow down the pc and installed with emachines computers matt | |
| Included on some Gateway models as well as E-Machines for Card Reader Chris | |
| Gateway Media Card Reader | |
| It came preinstalled on my Gateway 560GE PC. Used for the digital media reader on the front of the computer - SD/MMC/SM/MS/MS-PRO, CF/MICRODRIVE Nick | |
| Preinstalled with cd/dvd on any desktop pc J. Hungerford | |
| 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? | |
| Seems likely that it is a legitimate file for the e-machine card reader. TecBrat | |
| It says it's a Multimedia Card Reader by Alcor Micro, Corp. I have it on my eMachines PC. Avi Green | |
| Loads on start up on Gateway pc's for Digital Media Manager Cookieblz | |
| 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. | |
| It is part of Digital Media Manager ports. Only after doing SP2 for windows did this error come about. See also: Link Mohel | |
| Its for most standard (Non-Branded) Internal Media Card readers, regrardless of the system manufacturer. Jordan | |
| It showed up in Task Manager - Recently had to do a 'non-destructive restore" on my E-machine (gateway/ amd) that WAS destructive, and left me at XP SP2. After uninstalling programs I didn't want, need or outdated, my CD/DVD drives no longer operate. That was right after I deleted Napster and ran a junkfile cleaner. MBAM didn't find malware, but Super Anti SPyware is finding familiar adware. Joanne | |
