PNY Flash Drive Issues

I just bought an 8gb PNY Flash drive, but it doesn't seem to work with Windows Vista. I need a solution so I can put files on it to take back home.

By the way what did you pay? Just wondering as I got a 1GB Jumpdrive last week for $12.83 and wondering if I got a deal?

wouldn't it all depend on quality?

Yes, IMO Lexar is fairly good quality and this was a clearance item from a non-tech store but, still a current model. They must be planning to release new models for back to school?

Edit: To answer the original question. I just took a look around their site. Make sure you've installed the correct drivers.

I have been to the PNY site dozens of times, but there are no details on how their flash drives correspond with Vista, nor are there any updated drivers

The drive should be Vista compliant. Depending on the model it may not be ReadyBoost compliant.

Here's a link to the page that contains the drivers plus installation guides. -->http://www2.pny.com/support/support_landin...?SectionID=1057

Do other flash drives work? Are you running with admin privileges or user privileges?

If under user privileges than you will have to talk with your system administrator. This could be a company security policy issue?

The drive works under the Microsoft USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE driver, but it wont copy files onto it without giving me weird error messages saying that the source files cannot be found, but I can still open them.
