    Vista does not recognize any removable USB drive

    Hi,
    I have a new computer with Vista Home. When I plug in the removable
    drive, Vista asks for driver and disk (no disk came with them as they
    were not required in XP). The manufactirer does not offer any new
    drivers. These are pretty simple devices. I have:
    1 512 Mb Memorex original travel drive
    1 1Gb Kensington Data Traveler
    1 Fuji FinePix A101 digital camera

    I have no problems with those with my two other Xp computers. Help
    anyone? Thanks!

    C:\windows\inf\INFCACHE.1 is most likely corrupt and should be deleted.
    You will need to edit its file permissions to give Full Control to the
    User Group before you will be allowed to delete it.
