I am having a few problems with my new TCI USB 64MB Flash Drive (USB Mass Storage Device). I am running Windows XP Professional on both systems described below.
I know that the device is working, because it works with no problems on my older AcerPower 400mhz (Please see System Specs #2 in my profile) I can read/write to it, no problems occur. TCI Inculded software, I didn't install it and Xp just went alone with no problems, intalled the USB Mass storage, and it works.
I do however have problems with it when I connect it to my Gateway Performance 800mhz, (Please see systems specs #1 in my profile). I tried as I did with me AcerPower, not installing the drivers, but for some reason, XP told my it had errors installing the driver, and the device was not working properly. So I tried installing the TCI inculded software, as instructed, and it nstalls with no problems what so ever, but when i connect the device one of two things happens at random; 1) The device is detected for a short while (5-10 sec, then disappers, so i am not able to use it, and scanning for new hardware does not help. or, 2) The device shows and says it is working fine and appers like it should, but i am unable to read/write to it and the device manager for it says "Satus: Unreadable". I have also tried pluggin it into different USB ports.
I know it is a working USB Flash Drive, because I have NO problems with my AcerPower SE, and its a much much older computer. Windows XP Professional is installed on both.
Any help would be greatly appreicated.
Thank you,
Bill
