computer not seeing flash drive

[trekrobyn]

I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but I hope someone can help.

I am running Windows XP on my main computer.

I have a SanDisk 4 GB micro cruzer flash drive, with U3 Launchpad installed on it.

The flash drive works FINE at my office computer (also running XP)

But, when I put the flash drive into my home computer (where it used to work a few months ago), absolutely nothing happens. The U3 Launchpad does not come on, and when I look in Windows Explorer, the flash drive is not listed among the drives that the computer can see and navigate to.

I have tried the flash drive in every available USB port on my computer (some running USB 2.0, some 1.0) - no difference. The light on the flash drive is on (it's getting "power", so it is actually connected), but to the computer, it's as it it's not connected. No error message, no nothing...

Any advice?

Do other USB Drives work?

Have you tried manually installing the drivers for this Flash Drive?

I format U3 off of my flash drives as soon as i get them home.....it doesn't work on all machine configurations.

For what it's worth, ditto for me.
