if you are using a version of windows earlier than XP, then try searching on google the OS name example "Win 2000" followed by the string "USB Mass Storage Driver". This is a generic driver but works with pretty much any USB drive. Hope this helps

Similar problem. My Kingston works perfectly when you boot your machine with it inserted. If you plug it in while you are already logged in, the flash drive is available to some apps - not to others. Minor annoyance.

That's because some computers don't have the driver to recognize the flash drive.
