Problem with flashdrive
Alright so I have both a mp3 player and a digital camera, and I have a small problem with them.
When I connect them to the USB cable, it's fine, computer recognizes the device I see the directories and that's all fine and all, except one thing. When I try to open a file that's on the flash drive it won't open it, and I can't copy it to my harddisk. No big deal with my mp3 player. I can just delete a directory, put a new one in there and i'm set, but with the digital camera it's obviously a problem. can't see the pictures and can't copy them either. My sister upstairs has a laptop and they work fine there, so it's obviously something with my pc, anyone have any idea what it is? It can't be drivers, because I didn't install them upstairs either. How ya doing, buddy?  Soldier: Prepare yourself, rebel scum!! Arngrim : (These slipshod soldiers think they can call me "rebel scum"?) |

Have you tried connecting everything through a different USB port on your computer?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

yeah two different cables too. always same thing. Can't copy from flash drive to my hard drives, or read files on it.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. Soldier: Prepare yourself, rebel scum!! Arngrim : (These slipshod soldiers think they can call me "rebel scum"?) |

Does it happen with all USB devices or just those ones? Maybe there's some sort of global Windows setting that doesn't let you write/read from flash drives?
Edit: Do you have any sort of virus scan programs running? Those have been known to cause crazy things like that to happen. Most amazing jew boots |

no virus scanner, and my mouse works fine on both of those ports. no idea what it is.

Perhaps something that locks file transfers from there? It might be worth a shot going to your device mananger and disabling your USB slots and restarting. I think it reinstalls them when you do that (though you might want to verify with someone else on the forums before you do that, I seem to remember doing it years ago to fix something, but that might have not been what I actually did).
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
