I think u should make a new post Damparano. It has nothing to do with this post.

The brand of my flash disk is MyFlash. 128 MB.

311416 2005-01-08 02:08:00 Have you at any time removed the Flash without going through the "Safe to remove Hardware" procedure?
For info on taskbar bottom right there should be a icon looking like a green arrow above a rectangle, put mouse on the icon and "Safely remove Hardware" should show. 2 cl icon, window shows listing "USB mass Storage Device", cl Stop, Cl OK, window states "Safe to remove Hardware", unplug USB, cl close.
Go to Device Manager and see if you still have the yellow question mark.

311417 2005-01-08 02:27:00 That camera has a lot of features. :D

It will almost certainly need its software installed to work properly. Check the manual. Some USB hardware must have its software installed before the hardware is plugged in; some wants it the other way. :D Doing it the wrong way is usually a mistake.

Uninstall the camera's software and reinstall it.

The flash disk ought to just work with no extra software. I'm wondering if that doesn't work because the camera can behave as a flash disk too. Try getting the camera going first anyway.

BTW, removing the flash disk without going through the proper eject procedure shouldn't stop it working. It can sometimes cause lost files/corrupted directory on the flash disk. (It's like removing a floppy while its writing).

Some BIOS'es have the option like this mobo.

311419 2005-01-09 13:27:00 I don't mean to be rude, but I think you have no idea what I mean. First of all, it does not appear in Safely Remove Hardware. I understand what it does. I think that that is not the problem. I can't remember who but someone noted that it probably didn't matter either. Thank you for understanding. The problem seems to be that I don't have the correct drivers for either of them. As I stated in my original post, of the USB devices that I have tried (only two though), neither of them work. Either my computer has something missing, like "USB Driver Detecting Problems", or these two things need the correct drivers to be installed. johnleask69 (6774)
311420 2005-01-09 19:40:00 Reload the motherboard chipset drivers, it's possible that it's running on default Windows drivers that do not fully support the USB ports. godfather (25)
311421 2005-01-10 08:54:00 And how exactly do I do that? johnleask69 (6774)
311422 2005-01-10 09:02:00 If your PC came with a set of drivers on a CD, you use that.

If not, you need to determine just what type of motherboard and chipset it is in the PC. Then download the drivers.
Although the thread now has 19 posts in it, seems like we have no idea yet of exactly what the hardware (of your PC) is, from looking over all the posts.

If its a brand name (HP etc) then the website of the maker usually has the drivers for download. It is the main chipset (e.g Intel 845, or VIA) that handles all the USB Input / Output functions, and if it's running on basic Windows default drivers, or if they are damaged or corrupt then such things can happen.

If you post back with all known info on the PC, it's likely that someone can help.
