Hi

Whenever I attempt to copy or move files from "My documents" to my memory
stick, I get an error which indicates that the directory or file can not be
created. Up to the weekend I had no problem in copying or moving any files.
It is not a memory problem as sufficient memory is available.

What can the problem be.

Thanks

Does your memory stick have a write protect switch on it. If so, have you
perchance switched it?

Try running chkdsk on the memory stick. Removing a stick during a
read/write operation may affect it. Reformatting may help.
