Flash drive not recognised

[Guest]

I have just bought a Mikomi 2GB flash drive. My laptop and my work pc, both
of which use XP, recognised the drive as soon as I plugged it into the usb
drive and it worked perfectly. However, my home pc, which also uses XP, will
not recognise it and gives the following message 'one of the usb devices
attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise
it'. I have tried the various solutions suggested by the troubleshooter to no
avail. There also does not appear to be a manufacturers website. Any ideas???

This solution has worked for some people with problematic USB devices:

Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give
your account full control.

Delete INFCACHE.1, or rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your
desktop.

REBOOT

Sorry, can't help replying.

Some people just want an OS that works, particularly if they've paid for it.

And some people just want to WHINE, particularly if they don't have to pay to.
