Yes! I finally got it to work… Thanks Dan.

I ran the automated “Found New Hardware” setup by inserting the card via the adapter. I checked through the options until I could “point” to a folder on my harddrive. Since I had already run the Panasonic setup, I had the P2 viewer and drivers in the Program folders. I pointed the “Found New Hardware” setup to the “Drivers” folder. Vista set up to work perfectly. Now I can read off the P2 Card (a 32GB R Series) like any plug-in flash drive.

For some reason, the Panasonic setup was not giving me this option when I ran their program.

But its good to know that P2 cards can be read on Vista 64 bit, using a Cardbus Adapter ( I have a Rosewill I bought off newegg.com for about 60 bucks).

I am having the some problem on a Sony Vaio running Vista 64. The problem actually starts when installing the drivers. At no point does the Setup program give me the option of installing drivers for the Cardbus/PCMCIA slot, even when the computer itself recognizes the bridge for the Express slot to PCMCIA slot adapter. On past machines, I had the option of checking to install the cardbus drivers and was asked to insert the P2 card into each slot I wanted to use. At no point during installation of the drivers did I have that option or was asked to insert the P2 cards. The only drivers available in the Setup program are for reading via USB, 1394 or PCIe.
