Did you check the FAQ? I thought there was a mention on how to possibly wor=

around this problem.
Anyway, open the Prefs, then insert your card. You should be prompted to

brute force adj.: Describes a primitive programming style, one in which the
programmer relies on the computer's processing power instead of using his o=
r
her own intelligence to simplify the problem, often ignoring problems of
scale and applying naive methods suited to small problems directly to large
ones. The term can also be used in reference to programming style:
brute-force programs are written in a heavyhanded, tedious way, full of
repetition and devoid of any elegance or useful abstraction (see also brute
force and ignorance).=20
