Hello
After we did an upgrade from Windows Vista home to Windows Vista Business, our USB pen drive is not recognized anymore. What could cause this and how do I fix that? Bikini Browser |

... Hello After we did an upgrade from Windows Vista home to Windows Vista Business, our USB pen drive is not recognized anymore. What could cause this and how do I fix that? Bikini Browser This may solve it for you. A fairly common issue faced by Vista users is non-recognition of USB devices, particularly memory sticks. Here is a solution that has worked for many Vista users (myself included, on one installation): Locate the file INFCACHE.1 on the PC. You'll find it in OS drive\Windows\inf Give yourself full control of INFCACHE.1 by right-clicking on it, then Properties-Security-Edit to add your users group with full control. Delete INFCACHE.1 Reboot your machine, then try the USB memory stick (or device). Hopefully, Vista will now find and install the needed driver. |

Control Panel - Device Manager Open "Computer". If necessary, right-click the listed computer and select "Properties". With luck, you'll see the required option there. |

It is different processor architecture, I would guess yours is a x86 (the
two others are for 64 bits version of Vista, you probably run 32 bits) "Paddy Landau" wrote: Carey Frisch [MVP] wrote: Submit an online request to obtain a Microsoft hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935195 Thank you for that information.
