Hi All,
In need of help.....just tried a new Kingston DataTraveler 256MB flash drive
on my business computer running XP pro (SP2). When I plug the drive in it
hangs the entire system. I need to remove drive and reboot. I have tried
the same device on two other systems running XP Pro (SP1) and XP Home and it
works fine....Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling USB conrollers, Hubs,
no change.....
The device is fine, just XP pukes with it. Other USB devices (printers,
cameras, etc) work ok....thanks for tips
