    That doesn't really tell us much. It might not even be the chipset. Is everything else working?

    Well, not sure what else there is to do. Maybe that's why it was a refurb in the first place.

    File Name: Intel_Chipset-Software-Insta_A04_R304291_setup_ZPE.exe

    Then you just run the .exe...

    Next time, just write another post instead of going back and editing. It's easy for us to miss things.

    SMBus is the system management bus controller. That's not the expresscard slot, but it could be related to the problem.

    I told you where to get the Memory card reader driver in post #12. Installing the driver would do nothing if the device is not enabled in the BIOS.

    Hmm. And there is no Memory Card reader entry in the BIOS? If the BIOS doesn't see it, then Windows won't.

    This is what Dell calls it: O2 Micro OZ600xxx Memory Card Reader

    Then the physical slot might be there, but the media card reader isn't. I've seen Dells that have certain ports blocked off. They might have unblocked it during the refurb, but the card reader...

    The Smart Card reader is not the Memory Card reader; they are two separate things. Smart Cards are used for Logins/ID, not storage. When you checked the BIOS, did it say Smart Card or SD Card?

    Is this a new install of Windows or not? Was the card reader ever working?
