I have a Kingston USB3 multi card reader that was working fine with Windows 7. After upgrading to Windows 8 on Sunday i now find that the SD card slot works fine, but the CF slot wont ready my CF Card, it just sits there flashing away.
Now the strange bit. I took the card reader and connected it up to two other PC's, both running W7 but USB2 and had no issues. The CF card and slot worked fine. The card is from my DSLR and is definitely working ok, but i only have the one CF card so cant really test the reader.
I know there are USB3 drivers issues under W8, as in no Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller drivers, so speeds are not what they should be, and im wondering if this might be the problem.
Any ideas most welcome. I do have a new card reader, just in case, so need to test that out this evening but if the old one works ok on other PC's i cant see that this is the problem.
Thanks
