Guest dadkins Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 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!!

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..
