I tried and tried. Despite the lable on the packaging, it is not XP compatible and, after you buy it, XP tells you so - the fujifilm packaging says it is XP compatible, but the fujifilm website (which is devoid of any updates) says:

Operating Systems: Windows 98/98SE

Waste of money and, worse, waste of time.

This reader worked correctly for a while - then the menu failed to come up when a card is placed in the reader. After uninstalling, and trying to re-install, I am getting warnings that it is not compatable with windows XP, and though I tried to ignore the warnings, the drivers are not available. I have not been able to find the drivers anywhere on the fugi support site. A waste of money.

The xD card reader has the worst instructions I have ever encountered in 20 years of computer work. Those same instructions tell you to disregard the Windows XP warning that installation might damage your operating system. I proceeded as instructed and it did indeed cause Windows XP to crash. After removing the driver and associated software, the system seems to have recovered, but I am now left with a useless card reader. Fujifilm customer service never answered my email in which I asked if there were new drivers. I highly recommend you avoid this card reader.

No driver required, plugged it in and it appeared as an extra removeable disk. Didn't even need to look at instructions. Does everything it should.

I found the Fuji XD reader effortless to install on a PC running Windows 98, and had it working within minutes. It works fine. It's hard to get too excited about it---it's just a reader---but it does what it's supposed to do.

If you follow the instructions, this reader installs just fine on XP. Fuji tells you that XP will warn you not to install it, but to go ahead and do it. So, I did (twice because the first time did not take) and I've not had any problems with it.

This reader has been a big help in downloading pics from our digital camera - saves on batteries and I get to avoid the special software that came with my camera and I can put my pics where I want them on my computer. It makes the whole process much better.

Works as promised. But I'm not sure why we need another flash storage format.

i'm not ready to say if this product is worth anything or not. it does, however, have probably the worst instructions that i have encountered. the disc instructions will not read off the disc and the so-called "owner's manual" offers software set-up instructions in type that requires a magnifying glass to see. while i was able to get the software loaded, the manual told me to go to the disc for operating instructions. i still don't know how to operate the device.

Competing products, such as by Lexar require no driver. That is a good thing since after installing the software for this poorly engineered product my keyboard no longer produced the same characters as I typed. That is, I would type a "0" and a "2" would appear. Some whole fields would fill with gibberish. After problems with xD cards, a Fuji camera, and this reader, I have grave reservations about this company's products.

I dont understand what everybody's problem is with this reader..I ordered this last week and it works PERFECTLY with my Windows XP...
