Vista - Do U3 Data Traveler Devices (Thumbdrives) work under Vista?

Dear friends:

Do U3 Data Traveler Devices (Thumbdrives) work under Vista?

At least, mine didn't started up. I didn't have any problem to access
the files on it, however, but the U3 application didn't started up as
in WinXP.

Any hint?

Thanks

I understand that U3 is not compatable with Vista!!!!

No, U3 is not compatible with Vista.

You should be able to browse to the U3 exe and run it manually. Have
you tried checking the autorun options for the drive?

Check for new U3 Vista drivers at your U3 specific website.
They're just now coming out.
