 * The USB smart card reader does not implement any interrupt pipe as specified by the USB CCID specification.

STATUS

MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft provides Usbccid.sys for devices that comply with the CCID specification revision 1.0 or later revisions. If the device hardware integrates the smart card in the smart card reader and does not implement any interrupt pipe as specified by the USB CCID specification, Usbccid.sys cannot correctly find the integrated smart card.

Technical support for x64-based versions of Microsoft Windows
If your hardware came with a Microsoft Windows x64 edition already installed, your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for the Windows x64 edition. In this case, your hardware manufacturer provides support because a Windows x64 edition was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the Windows x64 edition installation by using unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with a Windows x64 edition. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware. If you purchased a Windows x64 edition such as a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 edition separately, contact Microsoft for technical support.
