Guest Lil' Dave Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Memory Stick Not Working Relating an experience that may have bearing on XP. I own a Cruzer 1GB flashdrive/memory stick/thumb drive or whatever verbage you choose to call it. My PC runs Millenium/XP Home using a 3rd party boot manager. No drivers were required to use the Cruzer. Initially I tried using the encryption software that comes with the Cruzer while in ME OS. Then wiped the Cruzer in XP, and formatted it. Worked fine in XP. ME could see the Cruzer, but could not access it however. So, I formatted the Cruzer in ME. Now, works fine in both OSes. This of course occurred on the same PC. After the above occurred, use it on another much older PC (98 vintage) running ME, and a notebook with XP HE as well. -- Dave "LJH" <LJH@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8314928D-17D3-478D-8E5D-9F13BDDF7707@microsoft.com... > thanks great help > > It worked previously before I used on my own computer so it must be > compatible > > "philo" wrote: > >> >> "LJH" <LJH@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:B96A21DA-AC60-4C46-B99B-2ED681E82C28@microsoft.com... >> > Hi , >> > I have a memory stick which works on my home and office computers >> > (which >> run >> > Windows XP) but it will not work on my parents computer (which runs >> windows >> > 98).

Guest Jeff Richards Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Memory Stick Not Working You haven't provided much information about the problem. What is the device (is it a USB memory stick or SD, CF card etc). Has it worked before on your parent' computer? If so, what changed at about the time it stopped working for W98? Does the device have drivers for Windows 98? Have you re-installed the drivers for the device and did the installation go OK or were there errors? Does W98 see the device and install a drive letter, or is the problem that the system does not notice that the memory stick has been installed? If it's USB, are you connecting it directly into the PC slot or through a hub, such as a keyboard? Do other USB devices still work OK? If it sees the device then is the problem that you can't access it for some reason, or is it that when you try to move or copy files there is an error of some sort (is there a message?) or is it that files saved to the device become corrupted or disappear? Is the device useable if you connect it before booting Windows? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "LJH" <LJH@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8314928D-17D3-478D-8E5D-9F13BDDF7707@microsoft.com... > thanks great help > > It worked previously before I used on my own computer so it must be > compatible >

Then it may be a problem with the RAM's timing setting in the bios
Guest LJH Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Memory Stick Not Working Hi , I can't find a driver from the memory sticks manufacturer.

Guest Ron Badour Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Re: Memory Stick Not Working If it is W98, you might be out of luck. If it is W98SE, then there may be a driver available from the maker of the memory stick. Check the web site and if you cannot find anything, post back and we will try to find a generic driver that will work. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2008 "LJH" <LJH@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B96A21DA-AC60-4C46-B99B-2ED681E82C28@microsoft.com... > Hi , > I have a memory stick which works on my home and office computers (which > run > Windows XP) but it will not work on my parents computer (which runs > windows > 98).
