Can't Install Flash Drive
I got a new flash drive and when I plug it into my computer the auto
installation goes, but it searchs the windows update for the flash drive software. The flash drive has the start up program in it, but my computer doesnt look in the flash drive. I have tried the flash drive on my other computer and it works becasue it looks in it. How can i resolve this problem? |

Can't Install Flash Drive
Windows Vista doesn't need a "startup program" on the flash drive, and
unless that software is specifically Vista compatible, it won't work in any event. When Vista pops up a window that it can't find a driver, point it to C:\Windows\System32, and it should find one there. Also, depending on the other software you have in use at the time, nothing may show on your machine when you plug it in and it is properly installed. It doesn't always create a shortcut, or pop up an access screen. Look in "Computer" on the Start Orb menu and see if it is listed. If so, you are in business..... Good luck. " wrote in message ...
