Hey Alex, here's what else you can try:

1. set up the reader on another computer, where it works; this computer must have the same OS as yours
2. start REGEDIT and export the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Calais\Readers\ to a REG file
3. run that REG file on the problematic computer

This should do the trick.

It works yes... But my Omnikey 1021 still wont work(( I thought starting this service will force it to work but even with "device properly working" as shown in Device Manager card reader red light always red and no one bench sees it.

Hmm, that is strange, I would expect that to happen if it weren't.

Well, I'll keep this in mind - it might save me one day :-)

Yoeri, thanks for the comment.

Do you have an English version of Windows?

Thanks for the fix for windows 7 but when I implemented it, the service was there but I had problems logging in with my smart card reader. It froze up. I discovered the problem in the regedit:

Yours:
"DisplayName"="Smart Card"

Mine:
"DisplayName"="@%SystemRoot%\\System32\\SCardSvr.dll,-1"

Small difference but it solved my problem :) for people who have freezingproblems

Thanks!. It has worked on Windows 7 64 bit. Very grateful for your help. I did not know how to make at all.

Thanks! Worked on Win 7 32 bits!

In my case, the service was working until an automatic windows update. After the update, the service wasn't even listed, but all the files related were present (SCardSvr.dll, etc..).

The only difference between your registry key and mine's, was the mine's was missing this value:

"Start"=dword:00000002

Thanks again for this solution!
