    Hi everyone,
    I just picked up my acer aspire one yesterday and was checking everything out.

    One problem i've had is when i go to "my computer" and it's listing all the drives it shows C: as acer, D: as SD/MMC but when i double click on SD/MMC (to try and explore my card) it pops up with the error "Windows cannot find 'G:\m.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search"
    The card is explored normally if i right click it and hit explore. Anyone know what this is? I was looking up m.exe and saw it was linked so some viruses but everything else seems fine.

    Looks like system looks for specified file: m.exe. Where this card is from - was there any software previously?? Is there still start-up folder or autorun file?? Can you try to format this card??

    I agree looks like there is an old bat file pointing to m.exe. Just reformat the SD card.

    I had a similar problem.

    Could not get the computer to recognize the right side multi card reader.

    Tried the left side reader, and the card was recognized, but got a pop up, telling me windows had to install a controller and restart. I told it yes to go ahead, and after reboot, both readers work perfectly.
