| 307626 | 2004-12-26 22:17:00 | Does your machine support USB 2.0?? And if not is the drive backwards compatible with USB 1.1? | Dak (6610) | ||
| 307627 | 2004-12-27 01:58:00 | sound more like it issue with the OS / source drive...... can you make a new word document and save it direct to the flash drive?? I have tried this - opened a new word doc, A try and save it to the removabel drive (USB) and I get a box with: 'MICROSOFT WORD' in the top (blue bar) and the words "The system cannot find the specified file OK" Another box then appears saying "The folder H:\ isn't accessable. The folder may be located in an unavailable location with a pasword or the file name contains an / or\" (it doesn't) I can save the document OK to the hard drive etc. Someone has suggest formatting the drive? Can anyone tell me how I do that - I don't think I have? Tks My machine is about 18mths old - It does have USB - I am sure of that and that it was 1.1 compatable. Any suggestions - my Chrissie present is useless at the moment - most frustrating - Tks Lance |

| 307628 | 2004-12-27 02:10:00 | That's a coincidence - on my XP Pro SP1 my USB drive works a treat, but on the other (now sold) machine with SP2 it had same problem - wouldn't recognise it at all. May be worth looking at Microsoft's knowledgebase site to see if it's a known bug. |
