Re: USB jump drive no longer works with Vista

Have you installed Vista SP1 yet? AFAIK it contains USB fixes not otherwise released.

Im still hoping someone out there has an answer to this issue. I have
contacted Gateway, the maker of the laptop Im using. They say contact
Microsoft. I have also contacted TI the maker of the media flash reader who
also said contact Microsoft. And lastly I have contacted Lexar the maker of
the jump drive Iam trying to use - they were the most helpful asides from the
help I have received here. This is what they said:

Use the device manager by right-clicking computer icon, and then selecting
manage.

Check disk drives - (The Lexar wasn't recognized there).

Check USB for Mass Storage or Unknown Device. Then Uninstall, then replug
the drive.

When I did this the cpu would process and run through a couple of changes
where the OS would recognize the Drive in the USB port as Mass Storage
Device, then USB Root Hub, and finally back to Unknown Device.

I tried new drivers from Gateway that covered the Flash device for my
particular model, and also talked to a tech who told me to download an Intel
chip driver which I did, with no luck.

I also tried attaching a Logitech Rumble Pad cordless gaming device. When I
went to Game Controllers from Control Panel. * It definetly recognized the
controller *, but when I went to the test screen and tested the functions -
pressing buttons, moving game sticks and direction pad - nothing happened.

As I said I have contacted everyone involved. I am sending an email back to
Lexar, but Im pretty sure the issue is with Vista. Any ideas/help ?

Thanks again,
Matt Armshaw

Microsoft does NOT monitor this "site".
