Here is the solution!!!!!!!
Through countless hours trying to figure this out I've got it for any one
that needs the help. Uninstalling the .sys files from the system32 folder
helps, but does not completly solve your problem. You need to have/get a
proper uninstall/registry clean program and the latest update from Microsoft
(Feb. 07). Reboot and like magic you get all the drives you will ever need.
For some reason hours after last post, I recieved an update from Microsoft
that fixed this problem?????

Follow up on original post:.
I have now tried numerous other devices (MP3 player, card reader) and none
of them are reconized in My Computer. Other devices such as printer and
mouse work both through USB hub and directly into USB internal card. I have
even clean my registry using numerous programs, and I still get nothing. I
have changed and remapped all drive letters in case there may be conflicts
there. Strange thing was that when I was using winrar it did give me the
opition of placing the file into my flash drive???? If this was a problem
on Vista there would already be a fix, but I feel that those of us still on
XP will be given the short end of the stick in terms of fixes from here on
out. So I hope someone from Microsoft sees the numerous post here and does
something about this problems that many people are experiencing.

I have removed Daemon and the .sys files, but still can't get flash drive in

after uninstall??? If not any more ideas

When I plug in a USB external disk drive, or a flash memory card, the device
does not show in Windows Explorer. Disk management shows the disk drive (not
the flash memory) but it has no drive letter and I cannot assign one (Change
drive or path grayed out). I do have an E: drive which is evidently the
memory card port on my photo printer - never used. (I have 2 hard disks C and
D, my CD and DVD are assigned P and Q).
Thanks for any help.....I threw away a flash memory card figuring it was no
good!

Not sure what this problem is but I have another problem
I have 2 accounts on my Win XP machine, an Admin account and a
restricted user account. When I connect my usb memory stick logged in
as restricted user I cannot eject it because Windows tells me it's in
use. But I can eject it logged in as Admin. I don't know why Windows
think the memory stick is in use when it isn't.
You mean the 'Eject' item in the drive's context menu in the
Windows Explorer? Then it's normal behaviour of Windows XP.
To eject a media a program has to open the storage volume first
and this requires admin previleges. Seems no one at Microsoft
works a restricted user...
