USB Mass Storage Device Driver

Until recently my version of Vista (Home Premium edition 64 bit) recognised a
Samsung Flash Drive, now for some reason it doesn't. At same time other USB
Memory Devices (Kingston U3 DataTraveler 2Gb) stoarge devices. With all these
devices when I install the unit Vista recognises them, installs a driver and
then tells me that a file is missing and thathat the installation is stopped
- and thus I cannot use the device. I have contacted Kingston and they told
me about 2 possible solutions - tell Vista to go to System32 etc and to go to
c:/Windows/Inf and remove INFCACHE.1; as it might have got corrupted, which
I have duly done. Still the devices are not recognised or the file is still
reported as missing. Kingston haven't got back to me since I reported the
failure although they did promise to (now 4 days).
From my searching on this Group and via the web this seems a common problem
(solved by above??) any one suggest another 'work around', I have even tried
getting Vista to recognise these devices as other brands.
