Scan USB Drive
How do I keep this message from displaying everytime I plug in a USB flash
drive? "Do you want to scan and fix *name of thumb drive*" My 2 options are "Scan and Fix" or "Continue without scanning." I have tried the scan and fix but it shows up the nexttime I plug in the drive. |

Does the message pop up with different flash drives? |

Scan USB Drive
I have tried 5 different flash drives, all different sizes and brands. I
have reformated and still get the message. "Don" wrote: J wrote: How do I keep this message from displaying everytime I plug in a USB flash drive?

J,
Try downloading and installing all updates available at the Microsoft update site, if you haven't already done this. Updates oftentimes contain fixes for problems one has as well as for problems you didn't know existed. -- freddy "J" wrote: I have tried 5 different flash drives, all different sizes and brands.

No, it's a bug in Vista—and there's no known way to avoid it, so far. It always reminds me of that scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the HAL 9000 computer starts cracking up and says, "I've detected a flaw in the AE-35 unit." -- ander |

There is a post on my blog that explains it. 'Vista Scan and Fix Error for USB devices « The Tech Talk Blog' (http://thetechtalkblog.com/index.php...and-fix-error/) -- merid |
