Thumbdrives in Win98 require a driver. As your CD is inoperative, I suggest
you download the driver fron the Memorex web site. Always a good policy to
download latest drivers anyway.

Hi List,



I recently bought a Memorex USB 128MB ThumbDrive and can't get it to

work.  In My Computer the driver letter for it doesn't show up and in

Windows Explorer the drive doesn't show up either but under Device

Manager under Disk Drives, it shows simply as "Disk Drive" and shows it

to be a removable device on drive E.  I called Technical Service at

Memorex and he tells me the device is working fine because under Start,

Run and I type E: then a box for an E drive pops up.  That told him I

have a problem with Windows but he couldn't say what kind of a problem or

give me any hints or suggestions.  I am running Win98.  Any ideas here?



I would have a hard time reloading Windows because my CD drive isn't

working right (previous post to which I never got any answers).  Whenever

I try to use a CD, it runs for a short time then my monitor screen goes

black and the CD stops spinning.  I used to get an "Out of Scan Range"

message but I have since bought a new LCD flat screen and now the monitor

just goes black.  Pressing the space bar will bring it back but some

files do not end up getting loaded on the computer.  Any help would be

greatly appreciated.



I originally posted this to PCSoft but they told me to post it here.  I

figured since the problem seems to be with Windows then it was a software

question but guess not.



Thanks



Cindy Sanderson
