| | USB Flash Drives for 64 Bit Vista Home Premium My 64 Bit Vista Home Premium will not find drivers for USB Flash Drives Lexar Firefly 512MB, purchased 11/21 and SAndiskCruzer Micro 2GB, purchased 11/23. Or any others for that matter but they all work with 32 Bit. Can anyone send me to a list of compatable 64 Bit Flash Drives? |

| | Re: USB Flash Drives for 64 Bit Vista Home Premium Make sure you have this update installed. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941600 If that doesn't fix it then I suspect the problem is with your motherboard or USB chipset driver.

| | Re: USB Flash Drives for 64 Bit Vista Home Premium Yes they do. I'll check the update. As additional backgroud I spent 3 hours with windows support they tried several things including teleconferencing with the manufacturers and they said although it says "Works with Vista" it applies to the 32 bit version. I have 32 Bit loaded on dual boot config. The drives work when I chose to boot it on the same computer.

| | Re: USB Flash Drives for 64 Bit Vista Home Premium As an additional note I tried to download the update but it says its does not apply to my system. My system runs 64 Bit since I built it 2 months ago as my primary OS. All components are 64 Bit capable.

| | Re: USB Flash Drives for 64 Bit Vista Home Premium What motherboard do you have? I know it doesn't help your situation but it's not a 64 bit Vista problem. I have tried many different flash drives and a few USB hard drives on two different systems running 64 bit Vista. So far I haven't found any that don't work. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Hunters" <Hunters@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E150CFC0-9E7F-4F16-9508-FB0CD5ABBEB2@xxxxxx Quote: > As an additional note I tried to download the update but it says its does > not > apply to my system.

| | Re: USB Flash Drives for 64 Bit Vista Home Premium Some of the Cruzer's shipped with a U3 program that is not very friendly to x64 Vista. There is a removal tool at http://www.u3.com/uninstall/ (which you may need to run on an XP machine if you can find one). This might be complicating a different issue.

| | Re: USB Flash Drives for 64 Bit Vista Home Premium First of all, thank you both for providing suggestions and insights into this issue. I'm using a nForce 680i SLI by EVGA. The New T1 version with 64 bit hyperthreading technology, supports 4GB with 32 bit and 8GB using 64 bit. I use a Quad Core CPU as well. "Kerry Brown" wrote: Quote: > What motherboard do you have?
