Re: USB Device Drivers for removable drives

I am running Windows XP SP2.

When I plug in certain devices that should be recognized as "removable
drives", USB is asking for device drivers and failing to support the
devices ... since they don't distribute device drivers for them.

I can plug in my mybook 500Gb drive and it works and flash thumb
drives and they work.  I plug in my new Lumix camera and windows asks
for a device driver.  I can plug the lumix in my wifes PC and it works
like a thumb drive.  Same thing happens with a digital photo display
we bought.

I have updated all the intel drivers for USB and deleted and
reinstalled all the USB devices in the system.  I have doubled checked
the BIOS (0805) and it is set to support 2.0.

I have searched the microsoft site and asus site for related
problems... no luck.

The interesting thing is the instructions for the camera and the
picture frame both say that the device should show up as a removable
disk, and not need drivers.  The two devices work on my wifes computer
just that way, but on mine they are asking for a device driver.

Any ideas?
