Answer 1

Most of the time, the answer to your question could be found at the manufacturer web site of the USB Memory Stick. It has been known that if a user uses Windows 98 and below operating system, a driver is needed to be downloaded and installed prior to using the memory stick. Check to be sure of compatibility issues. Last but not least, visit the manufacturer's web site. Most of the time you would find the solution there. If you need help, let us know the brand and model number of the USB Memory Stick, as well as what computer you are using ... Mac... Windows XP (for example).

Answer 2

If your computer has an AMD CPU, and Viatech USB Host Controllers; changing the USB Host Controller drivers to standard or generic drivers, may work. Sometimes, putting a line in config.sys, helps. ie. "lastdrive=m"

Answer 3

First of all, does your Flas Drive have a light that flashes or turns on? Second, if it dosen't do autoplay, you do this:
1. Go to "My Computer"
2. It should say something like "Drive (F)"
3. You click that and it opens!

Answer 4

it sounds like you did all the right steps but I don't see your step where you format the memory stick. try doing that. don't know what letter you assigned to your memory stick but can you look at it and see if it's listed as unallocated or something like that. you have to format after or before you change the drive letter no matter. after you format look in "my computer" and hopefully it will show there

Answer 5

IE comes with the operating equipment. it is the reason you are able to not eliminate it. you should use IE to bypass to firefox or google chrome, or regardless of internet you want to apply and procure it for free. no longer particular on the C- cleanser aspect besides the undeniable fact that. Ive not in any respect heard of it. Google your question about C- cleanser and clearing IE documents.

It might not be supported what windows are you running
