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! |

Won't recognize new hardware
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. heelfan wrote: I've tried to use a flash drive, an MP# player, and a compact flash card reader.

Won't recognize new hardware
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. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows leew [MVP] wrote: Windows Me requires drivers for all USB devices.

Won't recognize new hardware
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...
