Vista doesn't recognize flash memory sticks

Not long ago I updated the BIOS on my machine. This morning I noticed
that Vista no longer recognizes USB memory sticks. I downloaded and
installed the latest chipset for my motherboard but this does still
refuses to recognize memory sticks.

Does anyone have any idea where I go from here?

Thanks for any help!

Hmm--rebooted with the new chipset drivers and the problem went away!
