One with options like 'Open with...' or 'Take no action'??? And have you experimented both with the SD card in place and removed?

See, when I have an SD card in place and I connect the turned-on Cybook, I get that kind of dialog. Also, when I right-click on the big GREEN 'Start' button on the Windows Taskbar, I get a menu in which the second choice (from the top) is "Explore". When I click on "Explore" I get a new window labeled "Start Menu" and I can see, in the left-hand treeview, a list of drives and directories. Near the bottom I can see my Cybook listed as: Cybook Gen3 (O (Yep, my Cybook is drive O) and when the SD card is in place, I see it listed as: Removable Disk (N.

I can't understand why you're not seeing this.

When I plug the cybook into the computer with it turned on (and any other order of plugging and on-turning) what I get is a balloon in the lower right corner that sometimes says "found new hardware" replaced after about one second with the "not recognized/malfunction" message I put in my first post. Sometimes it skips the "found new hardware" message and goes straight to "not recognized".

If I go to device manager, it's listed under usb as "unknown device".

It's recognizing that some new usb device is attached, but doesn't know what it is.

When I insert the SD card (which seems to be fine- clicking into place, etc), there is absolutely no difference. The computer is completely unaware that there is a SD card attached.

When I plug in my usb pen drive or camera I get the dialog you're talking about. They show up as another drive in the way you're describing.

My computer is just not recognizing anything about this device other than it's plugged into a usb port, and it's not aware of the SD card at all.
