Cruzer devise incompatible
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. |

Does it give an error when you try installing it? I have a similar
Cruzer that works (although a 1GB rather than a 2GB).

My 2GB Cruzer works fine with Vista, as well. I wonder if yours is
defective, or maybe your Dell's HD is so fast that it sees the Cruzer as a slower virtual memory resource (this doesn't seem likely, but I've yet to see an adequate explanation of exactly how Vista "decides" whether a USB memory device qualified. I have a 1GB USB drive that Vista won't use. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

If the chipset or USB drivers are not spot on then the USB ports are nothing more than rather poorly styled airholes, after all. |

I also have a Cruzer Micro 2GB (I removed U3 software and reformatted with
NTFS) that works fine with Readyboost ; I also have a 1gb Micro that works.... "Dustin Harper" wrote in message ... Does it give an error when you try installing it?

I have the same problem with micro Cruzer 2.0 GB from Sandisk and my new
Dell computer with Vista installed. I can't imagine Dell having this as part of there computer package if it was not compatibale with Vista, but who knows. Tried to install and it just says installation was not successfull. Anyway folks, any real help here would be appreciated. Thanks "ChicksLoveChocolate" wrote in message ...

I have a two Cruzer Micros (4GB and 1GB) that work fine in Vista, but they show up in Device Manager as yellow exclamation marks under the DVD/CD Roms section. They also show up in device manager as working USB devices, too. |

One of Dell's hallmarks is supposed to be 24/7 support. Pick up the phone
and call them and ask "What gives?" The failure rate on USB drives is high enough that I would suspect the USB device before anything else. Get them to ship you a replacement (hopefully, from a different manufacturing lot). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

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. However, they couldn't give any dates as to availibility -- only "check back on the SanDisk support site occasionally"! Cheers, Phil "ChicksLoveChocolate" wrote in message ...

I've got a Cruzer Micro 512mb attached to my Vista Ultimate x64 without any
problem. - reads and writes to it are okay. Even learned just recently, how to get rid of that stupid U3 launcher app they put on it. "PB Henry" wrote in message ...
