I have 2 vista computers and regularly use a Canon powershot g6. The camera uses 1 GB compact flash card. I have not had any problem with this set up for the last few years.
Suddenly, both computers are unable to recognize either compact flash through a card reader or from the camera with a USB, or the camera itself. I get a "USB Device not recognized" error for the camera. The CF in a card reader simply fails to appear. In fact, it will not even see an empty drive meant for CF.
But, the computers will recognize a variety of other formats through card readers without any problem. I bought a new CF card and have tried a few readers, but to no avail.
This is a strange one, and I would very much appreciate your help.
