I've been driven mad by this problem of some pen drives not working on
my main computer which is now around four years old. On the other
machine, configured for audio and a year or so younger than this
machine, I don't have problems at all with pen drives not working.
Wonder if anyone can point to a software patch for Sandisc USB drives?
Seems that their is something different about newer drives from
sandisc and others where this hardware issue has become important.
Now when I insert pen drives I get an install new hardware dialogue,
which I'm convinced shouldn't happen, After going through the install
new hardware dialogue, the damned pen never works in the machine.

Hi Ron,
A while ago my daughter had a similar problem. Worked on
her husband's PC, but was unreadable on hers.
It boiled down to the USB controller chip in her PC
manufactured by VIA. We did a search of the pen drive
manufacturer's site, where we found the answer. Indeed they
provided a special program which we installed, that cured
the problem.
We've seen similar problems with the USB Book Courier, again
usually caused by VIA interface problems.
George.
