PLEASE HELP!!!

thanks alot guys

That's strange. Like you said, it shouldn't need a driver. However, I have heard of readers having firmware issues. I couldn't find anything on the Dazzle 12 in 1 though. I can't stand having issues with anything as basic as a reader and would suggest trying a different type. There are plenty of inexpensive ones out there.

Does it show up in My Computer?

What kind of card were you using it with?

Does the light on the reader illuminate when you plug it in and insert a CF card?
Have you tried a different card? (One of your buddies?)

Did you originally format the card with your camera, or on the PC?
