Memory sticks are plug and play devices.

simply plug in the stick on the usb port and the device would get automatically detected. it would be visible in the my computer window.
you can use it for storing your data.

Plug it into a USB port on your PC or laptop

The machine should recognise it as a USB device and assign it a drive letter.

You then have a choice of opening the device from explorer or it may try to self open via XP

Camera keeps telling me to reinsert the memory card. I've tried to new cards. When I put the memory card I was replacing because it is full, it goes back into the camera just fine.

As a last resort you could copy the full card to a computer and then delete the pictures on the card and use that again.

Here is the error list from the camera manual.
This is all I can suggest from here.

"Reinsert the Memory Stick Error"

Insert the "Memory Stick Duo" correctly.

The inserted "Memory Stick Duo"cannot be used in your camera
(See below).

The "Memory Stick Duo" is damaged.

The terminal section of the "Memory Stick Duo" is dirty

Compatible cards.

Some Memory Stick Duo have a write protect switch on the back.
You cannot record, edit or delete images if you
slide the write-protect switch to LOCK with a
fine-tipped object

Hi..my dell xps M1210 can not read the memory stick pro duo 2 gb what can I do ? can you hel me please..?

Hi! Welcome to FixYa!

Memory Sticks has many types, Memory Stick duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo. Memory stick duo is basically the first generation Memory stick and in terms of capacity and speed, it is slower and low in capacity. Memory stick Pro Duo is faster and capacity is larger, speed is faster..

For your issue, the XPS M1210 can only support Memory Stick Duo since it is quite an older machine and during that time, memory stick duo has just released. Have you tried other memory sticks for you to isolate the issue?

You have 2 options for this, first, try contacting Dell and ask for updated firmware for your memory card reader and other option is to use a USB memory stick pro reader that supports your memory card. Hope this helps.

I bought a new Memory stick for my Sony DCR-TRV320 Camcorder and when i switch my device to memory mode, it tells me "Memory Stick Error."

Check the following:
Memory Stick is inserted in correct position and orientation in camcorder. Try re-inserting several times.
Write-protect tab is switched to allow writing to memory stick (on back of memory stick)
Memory Stick is formatted in FAT file system (this should already be done except if memory stick has been formatted in a computer in a different format)
Memory Stick is not over the maximum capacity memory stick of the camcorder.
Memory Stick is not full.
Memory Stick is clean and dry.
The dcr-trv320 is a 2000 yr. model and came with a 4mb capacity stick and can probably only use up to a 128mb capacity stick or possibly 256mb. Most memory sticks you can buy today are 1GB, 4GB, 8GB etc. memory stick pro duo. and are probably incompatible. E-Bay has some of the old memory sticks like the 128mb for sale.
There is a slight possibility that static electricity discharge zapped the stick. Try another memory stick or try the stick in another device.

Memory stick for Sony Mavica FD92

Most older digital cameras do not work when you try to use a memory stick adapter and the newer, smaller size memory sticks. Because this memory format is so old that it is no longer sold in retail stores, your best option is to buy a memory stick online. You can find these memory sticks on eBay.

To find more eBay auctions for these memory sticks, go to the Memory Cards category on eBay. Then, on the left side select Format = Memory Stick, and Storage Capacity = 64MB and under.

In the resulting search, only look at the auctions that are actually for 64MB and under Memory Sticks - you will find a lot of mis-classified memory in the search results - items that are the wrong format (not memory sticks) or too large to work in your camera.
