The great news is that most Windows machines already have usbccid.sys hiding on them, but likely an older version than the one stated above because the updating system does not update software not in use. More research on the web showed that many people had tried to find a safe official version of usbccid.sys to download without success and after visiting many sites pointing to a sure thing, especially Microsoft sites, neither could I. Not the 02Micro one Dell has as the recommended download on their website. Upon checking the D820 we found it was using the generic Microsoft USB Smart Card reader driver (usbccid.sys) file version. In a discussion of the issue with my son James, also a savvy Engineer, he told me he was having no CAC issues with his D820 02Micro reader.

The D630 is running XP Pro SP3 and all current updates to include a reinstalled latest Dell recommended version of the 02Micro Smartcard Driver (version 1.1.4.202 A04) from the Dell website. Other cards failed also even though they all worked fine with external USB readers (typically SCR331 readers) including one tried with the D630. Sometime after November 2009 it continuously failed to detect the card when inserted.

I have a Government Dell D630 laptop that had not been reliably detecting my CAC (Smartcard).
