We have a Gateway NX860S laptop. It shipped with Windows Vista and a few months ago I loaded Windows 7 on it. The install went smoothly and all the devices were recognized by Win7 with the exception of the media card reader. It wasn't a big deal because my Canon PowerShot SD450 can also upload photos to the computer using a USB cable. Recently, however, the camera hasn't been working with the cable on either of our two computers. I searched around for a Windows 7 driver for the reader, but was unable to find one. Since Vista and Windows 7 are very similar OSs under the hood, I took a gamble and installed that driver on the Windows 7 laptop. It worked! Now I can just slip the card into the slot and upload my photos. Yahoo!
The driver I used is available from gateway here:
