I have Windows Vista on my laptop and everything seems to work fine, apart from the normal getting used to the new layout etc. However my laptop has an external card reader in which ive inserted a Mini SD card from my Mobile phone to copy some things across. The card reader reads the card without a problem but whenever i try to copy onto my Hard Drive or delete things from the Mini SD card i get the error message -"Error X80...... The Semaphore Timeout Period Has Expired".
I know the card reader is fine because it works with my Normal SD Card from my Sat Nav system, and i know the Mini SD card is fine because it works on my brothers laptop and in my phone. And it worked on my previous OS Windows XP. So whats the problem? Anyone know what this error message means?

PS This isnt a BETA version of Vista. This a genuine version of Windows Vista Ultimate

Id suggest you contact Microsoft support, and look for an official Vista forum. You've paid for the program the least you can expect is some technical support!

A bit late but never Upgrade to Vista wait until you buy a new machine and it's pre-installed. Just google the error code and it will take you to a site where it will tell you waht the code means and hoe to fix it (if possible)

Yes, the error means:
"Don't use any Microsoft product at least until service pack 1 has been released, and preferably wait 'till service pack 2"

You can reinstall XP as vista isn't ready for prime time.
