USB Memory stick stops working
When I plug a 4Gb USB memory stick into a USB socket on my PC I can see the
files on the device. When I try to open them it won't. The next thing is it doesn't even show they're there and properties shows the device as empty. Any way of 'repairing' it?

If yes, it is failing and should be replaced. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ

Return it or just throw it out. You can buy a 4GB USB flash drive from NewEgg for under $20. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ
