Problems with USB

Whenever I try to connect an USB device to any of my ports, it reads it, but
it does not open it in autoplay..
then i try to manually open it in my computer but when i click on it it says
it needs format, and when i want to format it, it says that it was unable to
format it...
this happens with my USB memory (1gb sony), my ipod, and it also happens on
my card reader with a sony memory stick..

anyone know how to solve this??

Welcome to the forums!

I've read there is a bug in Vista that doesn't load the USB drivers correctly. When installing them specify c:/windows/system32 for the driver location. It has helped many people with similar issues. Please let us know if it works for you.
