Default Won't recognize new hardware

I've tried to use a flash drive, an MP# player, and a compact flash card
reader. The system won't recognize anything as being there. I know the USB
port works because it will recognize my digital camera when I connect it to
the port. How do I get ME to recognize these devices?
Thanks for any an all suggestions!

Windows Me requires drivers for all USB devices. XP/2000/2003/Vista has
those drivers for those class devices... but for WinMe, you need to
check the manufacturer's web site for appropriate drivers.

It was a while ago - but as I recall, I had a client with Me and I
couldn't use anything USB without drivers, including Flash drives.
Unfortunately, I do not have WinMe installed on anything and I don't
have a spare box to install it on either, so I admit, I could be wrong...

Win Me contains the necessary drivers for most if not all flash card
readers and the like. Perhaps you are thinking of Win96/98SE where the
installation of such drivers is required.
