not able to use USB drive

Hi!

i am having windows vista. I am having administrator rights. I can't use USB pen drives. when i put a pen drive, it starts installing drivers for pen drive and then gives me message "system policy restricts you to install drivers".

where to edit the policy so that i can install the drivers and use pen drive.
In hardware settings it shows USB drivers are installed and drivers are working fine.

Only thing is that it do not allow me to install device drivers. I think o need to change local policy, but i don't know which thing to enable

thanks
amit
