Cruzer devise incompatible

: I too cannot get my new HP Pavillion 9230 with Vista Home Premium to recognize my Cruzer Mini's (512, 1GB and 2GB). I just had a long 'phone call with SanDisk support -- they confirm that they currently don't have Vista drivers for the Cruzer Mini family -- but they're working on it. I've got a 2GB cruzer mini that works perfectly fine in Vista. Why do they think they need to provide specific drivers anyways? |

Cruzer devise incompatible
I had a similar problem. I have a Sandisk 2.0 GB Cruzer Micro that came
pre-installed with U3. I took it to my XP Pro machine and disabled the password. When I brought it back to vista, it detected it just fine. If you double click on Launch U3 on the disk within vista, it states that the older u3 is not compatible with vista. According to http://www.everythingusb.com/u3.html you need to have u3 1.4+. Place the drive in an XP machine and then go to settings - U3 Launchpad settings, then on the left click automatic updates and then check for updates. Update your launcher. I did this and my launcher STILL doesn't work, but at least I can get into my drive (even if I can't use the password) "ChicksLoveChocolate" wrote: I just got a new Dell laptop with Vista and it is incompatible with the micro Cruzer 2.0 GB jump drive that I tried to use to transfer files that I need on the laptop. Is there any way around this incompatibility and is it Vista that is doing it? Any help would be appreciated. |

Here is why it doesn't work.
http://u3user.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/u...i=&p_topview=1 For SanDisk smart drives: firmware (or device) versions 2.15, 2.16 and 2.21 support Vista while firmware releases 2.17, 2.18, and 2.20 do NOT support Vista. Please check your manufacturer's web site before upgrading to ensure there are no restrictions on your smart drive that would make upgrading unfeasible. To check the firmware version on your smart drive: Open the U3 Launchpad Choose About U3 Drive or Help and Support / About U3 Smart Drive (depending on your manufacturer) Note the Device Version. This is the firmware release. If your firmware is not compatible for vista and you don't want to wait until Q3 of this year fo sandisk to make a firmware update, you can try http://portableapps.com/ "BrokenBokkenProductions" wrote: I had a similar problem.

I have a micro Cruzer 4.0 GB Flash Drive. It installs on my Dell laptop on
Windows XP, but does not install on my PC using Windows XP. Although they say it is compatible, it obviously has other incompatibilities. Looking on Forums on Websites this seems to be a common problem, one of their suggestions is that it has compatibility problems with Nero 7, that is rubbish as I have Nero 7 on my laptop and PC? I have phoned Technical Help on the ScanDisk site, waited 30 minutes and then got cut off, they obviously can't be bothered, it is the last time I will be a ScanDisk product. Sorry I can't Help, but I've had a good moan, feel a little less stressed now.
