Vista - USB jump drive no longer works with Vista

Cruzer jump drive does not work with Vista but does work on my other comptuer
with XP. It did work until recently but now the system wants to format the
drive instead of allowing me to drag and drop files. The multimedia drive
also quit working.

Using Vista Premium on a Toshiba A205 -S4607. Have been unable to find an
email for tech support from Toshiba. Will not buy another computer from them!

Can anyone provide a fix. Have tried using and earlier restore point along
with deleting the UBS drivers under System - devices but to no avail. Mouse,
printer, keyboard, and Matrox external disk drive are all recognized

Im experiencing much the same problem. I upgraded to Vista home in January of
2007. I had been using a Lexar jump drive to transfer files between home and
school for all 2007 and much of 2008. About a month ago the jump drive
stopped working. I figured I would fix it when I wipe out my harddrive (I do
this twice a year) because I was between classes. I have registered for a
summer class and now need the jump drive to work.

I must believe that a possible update was installed sometime in the past
three months that has 'messed' with the drivers and operation for the jump
drive. I tried reloading the drivers from the disk that came with the Gateway
computer. It gave me the following message:

Compatibility issue between Texas Instruments PCIxx12 FlashMedia Reader and
Windows.

I also noticed while checking the device manager that the driver for the
Mass Storage Controller was missing. I tried loading from manufacturers disk
again with no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated -

There are very widespread problems in Vista properly recognizing USB devices
and there seems to be more than one cause. I would suggest that you first
download and install the fix in the article below. I have found it
effective in several recent cases.

It is in SP1 so installing SP1 is the same thing.

Correct. Thanks for adding that.

Thanks for the input but I tried both of 32 & 64 bit files. Running each of
them resulted in "This update does no apply to your system"

Do you have any other ideas

I got the same message. Im running a 32-bit system. I also tried downloading
service pack 1. I had already got this through Automatic updates, however,
and would not let me install.

Any other ideas?

It may actually be more applicable to your problem. The fix I mentioned
tends to resolve problems with no device recognition or unknown device
problems.

Thanks for the input. Tried what GTS wrote however the problem still exists.

Please keep input coming as I am confident someone out there with this
problem has found a solution as it appears the problem is not uncommon.

Still no luck. I tried the batch file suggestion from the link given. It
didn't work. However I did recognize something else that may help. When I
plug the jump drive into any of the usb ports I get a message saying 'USB
Device Not Recognized'.
