REMOVE UR PASSWORLD

There is a little grey button on the side of the stick. Push it up or down.

You have format your memory stick, if you did that, skip step 1

1. go to settings-system-format memory stick, this create all folders for you

2. setup your psp to go with your wifi, read the instructions that came with the psp

3. go on the internet browser

4. download a file, it will autochoose which folder to put it in

If it is not a psp memory stick,or a compatible psp memory stick,IT will not work.Most memory sticks are not compatible with the psp.

If you have important data on you memory stick, back them up on your computer. Then format the memory stick with your PSP. After that, put all your PSP data from the computer back onto your memory stick.

See if the PSP recognizes your memory stick. Hope that works! ^-^
