Do the two computers in question recognize and allow access to other memory
sticks? If the answer to that is yes, then it's a Memorex issue. However,
problems with USB memory sticks are not uncommon in Vista and there is a fix
that appears to work for many (it worked for me).

Locate the file INFCACHE.1 on the PC. You'll find it in <OS
drive>\Windows\inf

Give yourself full control of INFCACHE.1 by right-clicking on it, then
Properties->Security->Edit to add your users group with full control.
Delete INFCACHE.1

Reboot your machine, then try the USB memory stick. Hopefully, Vista will
now find and install the needed driver.
