SOLUTION re: aren't usb mass storage devices compatible? Tuesday, January 16, 2007 at 11:09 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Alp (4 messages posted) I had the exact same problem with USB Devices (Mass Storage and Mice, maybe even more USB stuff) with Windows Vista Ultimate and got an emergency solution for that: - plug in - hit locate and install driver - if active Windows Update searches stupidly around - don't have disc (but we have, hehe) - browse computer - type to Location: C:\Windows\System32 (I checked subfolders too) - next - repeat this for all following stuff (USB-Mass Storage Drivers, Disk Drive, Generic Volume etc.) - happy USBing Yes, how could Microsoft know that the drivers could already exist in the System? For Flash Drives/USB Discs you have to do this once per PC, for Mice once per USB-Connector !?! Anyone know if you can point to default driver search locations via registry or something?
