Dodgy USB Stick Handling

[Guest Computerflyer]

(XP X64, all patches)

 

I have a number of USB sticks that work fine and a few that work fine

on X32 but not on X64.

 

Device manager assigns a drive letter and I can operate on the USB

using line mode in a command window

(Isn't DOS wonderful!).

 

In the GUI world the drive does not show in My Computer or anywhere

else, except device manager as a disk, as it should.

 

Event Viewer has an error 111 which MS Help indicates is a a problem

with the device, not XP, but 32 bit versions of XP are happy with the

device. Any idea where I might look for the disconnect between device

management and the GUI? The problem sticks are by multiple USB

vendors.

 

Thanks :-)
