It also happens in windows 2000, which is what I am using. Actually, it
shows up in my computer as a removeable drive, but, I can't do anything with
it. I can't see the files on the device, and of course, the software does
not see it either. Fortunately, my computer at work does work with it, but,
I really hope they come up with a fix for this.
