Resolved mass storage controller

Hello again,
I just reinstalled win xp and in the device manager under "other devices" i have a yellow exclamation mark and question mark next to "mass storage controller ". I noticed there was no driver installed . My question is , what is this function and is it important ? If it is important, how do I fix it ?

thanks in advance.

 

Do you have (or had) an external USB hardrive, memory card, mobile phone, digital camera (etc) installed since the reinstall of XP?

Depending on your answer this is probably not a problem but it may help if you complete your system details...

No, only a 1 gb memory stick. all the ports work. I have a wireless mouse , logitech camera and the memory stick. Computer works fine, just making sure it isn't a problem.
thanks

So that's a yes then

If everything is working we have a saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

 

Arie, I'll bow to your greater knowledge. I had assumed (incorrectly) that device manager was just reporting the memory card as missing.

 

I found the missing driver on the sony website. thanks for all your help. problem resolved
