Need some USB help, please

[Guest Dagger]

Maybe someone can provide advice about this problem.

I am running windows xp sp3

Here is the situation.

 

SanDisk flash drives cause my computer to lock up. The other flash drives

that I have

work fine.

 

All other USB devices seem to work fine. Device manager shows no problems

 

I have 2 other windows xp computers and the SanDisk flash drives work fine

on those

machines

 

Any suggestions, thanks in advance

Go to amazon.com and read the one star reviews for the: SanDisk 2GB Cruzer

Titanium and similar SanDisks.

 

Hope this points you in the right direction.

The simplest suggestion would be to retire and replace those particular

units. If the other units work fine, that's a strong indication that the

problem is not with your system.
