Flash drive problem

[Guest]

After I installed a "virtual" drive to read ISO disk images, I could no
longer connect flash drives or pocket drives to my computer. I uninstalled
the software for the virtual drive, but this did not help.

I have tried going to "My Computer" and Hard Drive management and assigning
a drive letter to the flashdrive, and I can open the drive from that window,
but it never shows up in My Computer so I can actually do somehting with it.

It also appears to connect when I plug it into the USB port - it shows up on
the "safely remove hardware" but I just cannot get it to show up anywhere
that I can actually open it (other than the Hard Disk Management screen).

I am out of ideas.... This is a big problem for me as now when someone
wants data from me or I need it from them, the flash drives do not work.

Any further help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi and thanks. I have tried that at least 10 times, and the drive letter
appears in the Disk Management Window, but never appears in "My Computer" or
in Windows Explorer, as I said in my initial email... I have no idea what
there is left to do...

Thanks

That seemed to have worked, and yes, it was daemon tools....
Thank you very much.

With 'virtual drive' you mean the daemon tools? Then have
a look at my page:
