Internal USB flash card reader problem

<I'm resending this, since the first one got sort of messed up>

Sometime in the last month or 6 weeks (I didn't notice exactly when it
happened) I lost the function of my internal USB flash 9-1 card reader.
Windows sort-of recognizes that it's there, and if I unplug it and replug
in the USB cable, I can hear and see it trying to recognize it. The unit
itself is OK, since I can plug it into another computer and it works
perfectly. Another wrinkle is that I can plug in a SANDisk external USB
flash compact flash card reader (single card type of device) and it sees
this device just fine.

I tried another internal flash card reader and it does the same thing... so
at least it's being consistent. In the Device Manager I can see the items
in the Human Interface Devices section (HID-compliant consumer control
device). Even with a flash card inserted, there's nothing in the My
Computer / Removal Storage area (or anywhere else). I've installed any
drivers, but it doesn't make any difference. I also tried removing a number
of other USB devices to see if that would make a difference, in case of a
conflict... so far nothing works. There's a long stretch of unused drive
letters from E through L for the item to use (it used to show 4 separate
drive letters).

I assume that I installed something that's hosed this device... but I don't
have a clue as to what it could be.

Here's my system: Asus A7N8XE Deluxe (BIOS 1013) with AMD Athlon XP 3200+
and 1 gig RAM. ATI Radeon X800pro video card 1 Seagate 200gig SATA
hard-drive 1 Maxtor OneTouch II external hard-drive via firewire connection
1 Sony DRU 720A DVD-RW player

I have all the current nVidia motherboard drivers and ATI video drivers
installed. Everything else is working just fine.

Thanks.

Sam
