unbelievable. i have exhausted the workarounds on the ms help page, and have requested the hotfix (maybe it'll work).

anybody have similar problem with "can't find driver to install" for your USB flash drive with vista? every damn time the OS can't find the driver online. i plug the same flash drive into a laptop running vista, and the drive comes right up. and i've checked the memorex and adata websites -nada!

WTF?

So you're saying it doesn't work on one computer, but does work on your laptop?

yep, just my desktop install of schmista - won't read any USB flash drive.\

looking online for driver.

cannot find driver.

when i install from c:somewhere, it finds the driver, but takes a crap when installing the driver > cannot update driver.

Just a guess, but maybe it's the motherboard drivers? Or chipset drivers? It sounds like a problem with the usb drivers on the mobo, rather than the OS.

yeah, i popped the mobo driver disc in yesterday, and it told me they're all installed right. idk.
