Hi John,

Thank you once again! I am very hesitant to install that Service Pack
5 because a non-critical update released a few months ago turned my
screen green and I had to uninstall it. With the current condition of
my computer, I'm not sure I really dare to try it. Thank you for the
link! I have more reading to do! Thanks so much John for helping me
so much with this issue. I wish I could return the favor.

Best wishes,
Gail

You're welcome Gail. As for SP5 mucking up your computer, that's the $64,000 question. I just don't know what might or might not happen if you install this on your pc. You might want to read here for more information on this SP5: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=69579 I just came across this product by searching for the updated Usbstor.sys (v 5.0.2195.6934) that is shown as the fix to the problem you are experiencing, I have not personally tried it. The author of the pack says the file is in his latest version ( http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t56784.html ) so I posted the information for you to consider.

Keep in mind that this is NOT an approved Microsoft product although it is made up of Microsoft updates and fixes. Also keep in mind that the reason that Microsoft doesn't release all hotfixes to the general public is because some of these fixes have not been fully tested and may cause problems on some computers. You will have to decide for yourself what to do. You could download the package then unpack it in a temporary location and replace only the file in question after you satisfy yourself that it is the correct version. Or you can install the whole thing if you think its a good idea. I think the product could be useful in situations like yours.
