usb device not recognized/memorex travel drive 1.0 gig

[Guest dadkins]

Has anyone else experienced a problem with usb devices no longer working? I

have had mine for 2/years and around early October it has stopped working on

my win/xp machine. It will not work on win/vista either. Sometimes it gets

recognized, but, more often than not, it does not. I has worked on my machine

for 2/years, now all of a sudden it won't. The typcial efforts w/device

manager etc... have not worked. Will work on win/98 w/out fail. If I boot up

in safe mode and it recognizes the drive, accessing the info will cause it to

get wiped out. ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

you probably wore the connector out.. or, the silver plug is loose to

the body of the doodad..

 

time for a new one..

 

now wait a minute.... just saw that it works on 98 w/o fail. Try a new

one for a doublecheck, and/or scan the one you have for a trojan/virus

anyway..

Replacing it w/an new memorex traveldrive worked...it appears differently in

USBDEVIEW than the old one...perhaps a driver update made the original one

obsolete(although it still works on some machines/and still does not work on

others???).
