I have a USB flash drive and a USB MP3 player that worked well in Windows
XP. I'd plug them in and they'd work fine. In Vista however it's another
story, its like I'm pushing a piece of paper into the PC, there is no
acknowledgement that something's been inserted into the machine. There is
no beep (like I would get in XP). How can I get Vista to recognize these
devices?

Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that the Vista do not recognize
the USB devices which work under XP. If I have misunderstood the problem,
please don't hesitate to let me know.

First, the Vista is a new system, some devices may still do not compatible
with it. I suggest you confirm whether the devices are in the Vista
Hardware Compatibility List:

Windows Vista Hardware Compatibility List
http://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/

Then, please contact your hardware vendor, and ask them whether they have
the device driver for the Vista. If yes, please install the device Vista
driver and test this issue again.

Additional, we have a tool called Windows Vista Hardware Assessment, it
will help you to judge whether the device compatible with vista. You can
download and install it on a XP computer. Then, plug the USB device, do a
scan of your computer. The Windows Vista Hardware Assessment will give you
a report, the report will let you know whether the device is compatible
with Vista.

There are a lot of people with this same problem. Below is a fix that has
worked for many and the link to the thread so you can read it yourself. Good
luck!

I just spent 8 hours and 4 phone calls with Microsoft.. ultimately they read
a forum post which I directed them to regarding INF files and they followed
the instructions and everything works perfect now. Here is a copy of the post
from forums.microsoft.com.

""I've been experiencing the same problem with usb storage devices for the
last few weeks and have visited numerous forums discussing it. After having
no joy I decided to take a look around my system folders and have now got
these devices working again. While looking around I discovered 2 points of
interest:

In C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository I had two folders named
"usbstor.inf" but each one had a different set of numbers attached to the end
of the folder name. - could this be where part of the problem lies?

When i looked in my C:\Windows\inf folder i discovered the usbstor.inf and
usb stor.pnf files were missing - this definitely had to be an issue.
Once I discovered these anomalies, I proceeded to copy the pnf and inf files
from the most recently updated usbstor.inf folder to C:\Windows\inf. I then
went back to the update driver wizard, pointed to the inf folder and what do
you know but they all started working again.

As yet I have not had any problem with other usb devices so I don't know
whether this solution applies to everything. However I have noticed that most
people are having this problem with devices that register themselves as a
mass storage device, including most new printers, cameras, etc. Basically
anything with on board memory tells windows it is also a mass storage device,
so maybe this is what is causing the problem with those particular usb
devices.

Hope this helps""
