I have just bought a smart card reader and am having problems with it, can anyone help?
Using W98 and loaded the driver that came with the card reader OK. The correct symbol is now on “ My Computer “. I know the USB port works because power is getting to the card reader but when I put a smart card in the reader and try to access it I get the error message F

is not accessible, the device is not ready.
I am stuck!
A separate problem relates to reading a website with .pfd, I have Arobat Reader 5 but I keep getting a blank screen with a very small symbol at the top left and a message “ the plugin was not successful “
