My USB Slots malfunctioned!
I cannot update this blog yet as I am having trouble with my USB getting recognized, when I plug it into my computer it then flashes once and turns off, then vista will tell me that Windows shows it as an unknown device and says it has malfunctioned.
I have tried virtually everything to fix it.
If you might be able to help me then contact me please!
Thanks,

well, one of the many hassles of having vista. i would suggest re-installing the drivers of the usb if it came with any.
I have tried that and it comes up as an “Unknown Device” which means the gay thing can’t find drivers or anything, not working with any USB Device I have.
I think my motherboards gone.
Well, if you can’t find any drivers or something, I suggest moving to an older version of Windows, like the so-popular Windows Xp. Anyway, I want to help you trying to find a suitable driver for your pen. Which pen do you use? What is the model?
Sandisk Cruzer Micro
The pen drive is not the main problem, all USB Devices do not work.
This solution has worked for some people with problematic USB devices:
Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf
Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give
your username full control.
Rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK
Reboot your PC and it should reinstate the USB driver files.
Already tried that before and didn’t work.
Open command prompt and type “sfc /scannow” .Let it run.If this doesn’t help go to http://www.vistax64.com and look for a answer.Good Luck.
just wonderin, how exactly do u convert all these apps?
sfc /scannow didn’t work.
I get the portable version of the application and i write the package myself to make it u3 compatible.
u should submit these apps to U3’s main site so more people can get them.
and by the way, whenever i try to use the chat thing, it says connection failed
What Antivirus do you use?? I have see lately that “Nod32 v.3″ instead of clean or Quarantine trojan from USB it don´t let the USB to be recognize by the OS. So when I plug my Sandisk Micro U3, it load ok the “CD drive” partition, but the DATA STORAGE partion remains unreacheable.
Sorry my bad English.

By the way, Could someone advice me a Better Antivirus for U3, I had Avast U3 4.x antivirus and it’s really REALLY SLOW to make a deep Scan: 2-3 hours average. Last time 7hours, I run it from a “CLEAN START” (BARTCD WIN_XP BOOT UP CD) but also last time doesn’t found 2 virus untill I run Avast U3 from normal Win_XP boot up. I Also have try Mcafee USB U3 version but doesn´t scan LOCAL DISK only the USB and OS essencial fies load at start up. I have buy Avast U3’s license, but really need a REALLY FASTER one so if there are a better one I will buy it.
About the problem with Sandisk Micro U3.
Have you install a new software lately??? I have REAL problems when try to USE “Media Monkey Mannager 3.05beta” It makes crash both of them. So don’t use MEdia Monkey While you plugin the Sandisk Micro U3, still not a fix for this.
