USB thumb drive recognition issue.
I have a laptop on WinXP and cannot list my USB thumb drive in "My computer". however, right clicking the removable storage icon in the task bar shows the thumb drive identified correctly. I cannot access the files on my thumb drive.
The stick works fine on another laptop so its not a thumb drive issue i think. Any ideas ? I've tried reboot the laptop but it does not solve the problem.

It is probably a result of conflicting drive letter assignments. Go into disk management and change the drive letter assignment for the thumb drive to an unassigned letter. It shoudl then show up in my computer.

Do you have Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition installed? After this was installed on my wife's computer, USB drives would no longer show up in My Computer. Uninstalling it fixed the problem. Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition got installed inadvertently when she upgraded Adobe Reader to version 8.
