I recently tried to install a Vista-compatible Sony MRW62E-S1 Multi-Card Reader/Writer but when I plug it in it mistakenly calls for a driver for a "Silicon Media R/W" device. I checked with Sony support and their card reader/writer should be identified in my system with a Sony device name, and they have no idea what this "Silicon Media" device refers to.

Note that I THINK that this is the name of a cheapo multi-card reader that I attempted to install several months ago but could not get to install (I do not even know if I still have that device else I would reference it in detail here).

I am wondering if perhaps that earlier attempt left some lingering incompatible driver hanging around in my system which now is preventing me from installing this new Sony reader.  Also, I am unable to successfully interface with a new Ipod Touch.

My question is: short of reinstalling Vista how can I identify and remove whatever system file is calling for a "Silicon Media R/W" device when I plug in the new Sony driver?  If I can clear that up I suspect that my Ipod Touch will connect successfully also.
