Windows Vista SP2 supports MMC 1.0 and 2.0 cards. Windows Vista SP2 does not support MMC cards that are version 3.0 or a later version.

Note If you have a MMC version 3.0 card, it may work if Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is installed. When you connect this MMC card to a computer that is running Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (SP2), the MMC card is not enumerated. Therefore, it does not work. Additionally, a yellow exclamation mark (!) may appear next to the MMC device in Device Manager.
