I have bought a sandisk cruzer micro 4.0gb usb flash drive.
It said it is Vista compatible.
However it keeps saying:
Windows was unable to install your SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro USB device
Windows could not find software for your device.
I have another older flash drive that also doesn't work on this new Vista system. That is why I purchased this new Flash Drive.
Sandisk cruzer wont work with my new Acer Laptop which uses Vista. Seems like everytime Microsoft changes the operating system the ants get crushed.Sandisk cruzer wont work with my new Acer Laptop which uses Vista. Seems like everytime Microsoft changes the operating system the ants get crushed.

Vista has not been out long enough for any company to state that there product is compatible. I would check there website to see if they have updated drivers that will make the sandisk usb drive compatible. This may fix the problem!

try removing off the launchpad program from the pen drive through an XP system with this software and then try inserting it on the vista as an ordinary pen drive.
Is the account that your tying to access the drive with an Administrator account? If not, Log in as Administrator and try to access the new drive. If you ARE using Administrator privileges on the vista machine, the problem lies in the U3 smart driver. Try downloading and installing the drivers for the XP SP2 os on scan disks website, If vista rejects the install package off of the scan disk website, let me know and i'll extract the drivers and build an install for them for you.
