FLASH DRIVE FREEZES MY PC?

[Vanillaman]

I just bought a flash drive for my WinXP SP2 Home edition. As soon as I
inserted it, my computer froze and locked up. I've tried it in all my
additional USB ports and it remains the same. Even if I insert it prior to
boot up, Windows stops and freezes. My webcam works fine and the memory stick
light comes on, but the `New Hardware Detected' indicator doesn't even show.
I don't have anything else taking up USB ports other than my webcam. I've
tried it in other computers, not my own, and it worked fine.

This seems to be a mystery, which nobody seems to have an answer for?????

Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight the USB Root Hub devices,
Action menu, "Uninstall", then restart Windows, to find the device drivers
again automatically.

Hi Mark

I already tried that, but unfortunately it didn't cure the problem. Its a
complete mystery which nobody seems to know the answer to.
