Just a shot in the dark here, but did you try going into windows explorer and ejecting /using the safely remove hardware option. It worked for me when my reader did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. For some reason it still thought it was connected to my laptop. Here are the steps I used.
1. Connect the reader to usb port
2. If it does not automatically do so open my computer
3. Look to see if reader shows up as a drive icon
4. If it does, do not select it, just right click on it
5. When the menu comes up select safely remove hardware option
6. Wait until it says safe to remove hardware.
7. Disconnect reader and see if that solves the problem.
Hope this helps.
