Issues with MMC Card

Hello,all.

Ala topic,i'am running into a few issues with a MMC and my QD.

Couldn't find this in a fourm search,so here we go:

I got the card,got it home,formated it in my QD,put it in the card reader and got all kinds of crazy errors from windows. Eventually i realized the reader's power kept acting werid and going on/off, and i took a look at the usb cable it came with. Needless to say it was a peice of crap,with the USB end being a round orb of plastic with the USB connector actually extending from it-and the only thing printed on it was "sheilded usb cable" in two places. So after fetching my camera's usb mini to usb cord,i've resolved those issues, but i still have one more:

If i put the card in my QD, about every twenty seconds i get one of the two following errors: "Card is inserted, not safe to remove without going to power menu eject MMC card" and "Card inersrted,access via main menu". If i try to do anything, i'am sent back to the main screen where said errors appear every 20 seconds or so. If i have an app on the card,it doesnt appear in in the install list on the QD. I've tryed putting it in another read on another PC,and the files show up and can be moved to that PC.

The card in question is a 64mb from super talent flash,INC
supertalentflash.com

Any ideas?

Something i might add: Sometimes the errors will go crazy if i leave the QD be,and i'll find that it's "locked up". It's done this three times. It will reset it's self and restart normally in about 10 minutes afterwards. Also,errors do not appear if i reformat the card in the QD.(That might be a doh,but you never know 😊)

Yea, i was hoping i could avoid that however.

EVERYTHING works now,besides i get sent back to the main screen every 20-30 seconds for the info box telling me about removeing the card no matter what i'am doing. Reset my phone at the expense of my game saves,same thing. 😞

No one has any ideas?
