Hey there,
Which version of windows are you using? You can check by right-clicking on Computer/My Computer and going to properties. Under Windows edition post that here. To make it so where it downloads updates but won't install them until you tell it to. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update > Change Settings. This is for Windows 7 but is alike for most of the OS's. Get back to us and let us know an update! |

Are you sure they aren't working? One of the recent updates disabled the AutoRun feature so you may not get the screen that pops up when you plug in the usb device. However, if you check in Computer, you should see the device listed there.
