I have an IBM Memory stick and a generic flash drive which work well in XP,

and I don't recall having to install drivers for them. I believe that when I

first plugged them in, XP just detected them etc etc etc. I have tried to

use them with my PC that has Vista installed, but after initially detecting

both drives, Vista then asks me to install drivers. Am I doing something

wrong here???

    This seems to be a popular problem with Vista. One popular solution

    seems to be to tell Vista to look in your Windows folder, which doesn't

    always work, and if it does work, might need redoing next time you plug

    it in. I suspicion this has to do with the "enhanced" system security

    that Vista offers.

    Anyway, Googling the problem gets many hits.
