1.0 out of 5 stars DAZZLE DUD - WINDOWS XP NOT!!!, September 4, 2002

By	NORTON C. BROWNE (SEATTLE, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had nothing but trouble with this reader. Claims to be XP compatable but XP rejects it and Dazzle customer support is useless at best. If you have XP stay away.

1.0 out of 5 stars Never worked right . . ., June 4, 2003

From the day that I opened the box and took the reader, then plugged it into my computer I could never get it to work right. With a system running Windows XP it normally installs automatically then works like a charm. However, this time it installed but never functioned properly. It would dissappear then reappear at startup.
If you where lucky, it would stay long enough you to try to use it, then you could try to use it. It would then say there there was no card in the drive, then dissappear until next startup.
This also happened with the drivers on the CD. I would strongly avoid this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of 'Blue Screens of Death', August 16, 2002

By A Customer

Had a great deal of trouble installing this on a Compaq Armada M700 laptop running Windows 2000. It runs on my Dell desktop running Windows 98 fine, but can't get through the install on the Compaq. Online support from Dazzle revealed little/no help (but did reveal a similar problem on Dell's running W2K). I tried what was recommended for the Dells (update BIOS, update to W2K Service Pack 2, plug in without USB dock, etc.) but nothing worked. Phone support was stumped after 2 hours. Tried installing on co-workers Compaq running W2k and had same results.

Same symptoms occurred with Dazzle Multitech's Zio SmartMedia reader.
