I have a new USB 2.0 1 GB flash drive. It does not work on my computer
running XP Pro 32 bit SP2.
It is detected but doesnt show up in Explorer and after a couple of minutes
the computer tends to
stops responding until I unplug it.

The 1 GB flash drive works fine on this same computer running WinXP Pro 64
bit.
It works on an older PIII running Win2K.
It works fine on my laptop running XP Home SP2

I have 6 other USB devices including a 64 MB Flash drive, a 120 GB USB
harddrive and a USB zip drive,
they all work fine.
Device Manager recognizes it as a mass storage device and says it is working
properly.

I have uninstalled all USB items in Device Manager and reinstalled, no help.
I have disconnected all other USB devices, no help.
I have reassigned drive letters for my DVD writer and DVD Rom to open drive
letters behind harddrive, no help.
I have wound my butt and scratched my watch, no help.

I have read through this newsgroup and searched the internet, no help.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thiers an update for "flash drives" at microsoft.com/downloads Type in
Windows
XP above the scroll bar,search by date after 1st results get posted.Its
within
2 weeks of today i believe.
 
I think one major advance of Windows Vista would be on USB hardware
recognition. It has a lot of bugs and sometimes the previowsly
recognized hardware is not recognize until I unplug another device and
plug in the webcamera for example, then it is recognized.

I think there are bugs on windows xp about USB recognition. I guess you
guys of microsoft could take a look on that.
