Not that it helps you but I'm having the same problem. Vista sometimes
lets a memory stick work but more often than not it asks for a driver
and then can't find one so the stick won't work. Vista does the same
with my MP3 player so I can't delete files on it or put new ones on.

Roll on SP1 when USB issues will be fixed (hopefully).
