[bcab] Re: 8Gb USB Flash Drive

Hi all,
On this subject I have a different problem.  I can not locate the button that 
closes the flash without having to close the computer.  Is there a way to find 
this?  I still am on Jaws 7.x.
                Cheers,
                Panagiotis

  Hi Derek,

   

  If it doesn't appear in My computer, and yet you can hear  the usual sound as 
it is plugged in or out, you may just have a similar problem to one I had.

   

  Go to Control Panel, System, Device Manager and the navigate down to the USB 
section.  Make a careful note of what's there, and then plug in the 8 GB drive. 
Look to see what has been added - in my case, it was a "USB Composite Device".  
Select the new device, right click on it and select properties.  You may well 
find on examining properties that the device is "Disabled".  Click on "Enable".

   

  I have this problem every time I take my Lexar 4 GB drive from being used in 
XP, back to my Vista system.  It's very annoying.

   

  George.

of my PC that is running Windows Xp Pro. (SP3) and JAWS 9.0but I cannot find 
the drive in my computer screen or system tray therefor does anyone know how I 
can resolve my problem.
