When you plug in the reader the computer should recognize it. If not go to my computer and click on the drive that you have it plugged into.

That card reader should be plug and play, but if for some reason it doesn't seem to be working (could be a plug and play drive issue within Vista), you could do it a round about way if you have a digital camera that accepts SD cards. Just take the SD card out, put it in the camera, then connect the camera to the PC with your usb cable. This is sort of a bandaid fix, however, because that card reader should work.

Did some quick research, and it appears you are not alone on this issue. It seems this reader doesn't come with high recommendations from those who purchased it. Several people have reported SD read errors like yourself. Read them here:

I personally like card readers manufactured by prominent flash memory manufacturers (Lexar, SanDisk, Transcend, etc). Check Newegg out, as they have plenty of card readers in stock, with user ratings for each. Newegg is a great company to order from as well. There's a company on there called rosewill that makes a 51-1 card reader if you still really want that ability (not sure why, though). Here's that model:
