Go to the device manager and look for the USB driver. Uinstall and restart the computer or you can scan your computer with RadarSYnc so that the drivers will be fixed. Having this software will also make sure that every driver will work perfectly in your computer.
if it is just a USB 2.0 stick you just put it into the USB port on your computer and if it didnt come with a CD then it will have the install software on it and will just do everything itself however if it came with a CD then install that before you plug the stick in and everything should work fine after that
I bought the Innovage keychain also, and was frustrated because I couldn't get the cd to work, and the software on their site wouldn't install...I would get an error everytime and on all of my computers. I had it packaged up to return and I did a google search on keychains that were Mac compatible and came across this site:http://www.digitalfoci.com/support.html On the bottom of the page is a link for their software...the same picture view, but it must be a different version because it installed and i was able to transfer photos to the keychain. I hope it works for you. I know how frustrated you must be.
You can install downloaded software. Also with most applications on CD you can copy the CD contents to a USB stick and run from there (from another computer obviously).
For some applications like Windows, you'll need follow special steps to create an image of your windows CD/DVD and mounting to a USB stick. For Windows 7 Microsoft offers an application to do this.
For other operating systems, just use google and search for "install {your operating system} from USB.
Spend $40 to purchase a new CD/DVD reader/writer, and install it.
Or, find another computer with a working CD-reader, and a USB port.
Find a USB memory-stick with about 600MB of "free" space.
On that computer, copy "everything" from the CD-ROM to a folder on the memory-stick.
Then, move the memory-stick to your computer, and install from that folder.
Troubleshooting Setup and Install
If your device is not recognized:
Verify that your cable is USB 2.0 high-speed compliant.
Ensure that your cable is connected
correctly. Remove the USB cable, look at the end of the cable, and then
match it to the pattern on the USB port. Make sure that it is not
upside down. Insert one end of the USB cable completely into the USB
port on the HP device and the other end into the back of the computer.
Check that the peripheral is turned on. Peripherals will not be recognized if the power is off.
Ensure that your USB cable is no more than 15 feet or 5 meters in length.
Check that the USB port is enabled. Some computers ship with disabled USB ports.

Connect the other end to a USB port on your computer. On your computer open the Record Recording software. For instructions on operating the Record Recording software, browse the software cd and open the Read Me folder.
I got that from the manual. You don't need a separate USB driver for it, mate, but you DEFINITELY need the cd...
Did you plug in the printer before you installed the drivers from your installation CD? If not, you need to uninstall the hp printer drivers and unplug the usb cord from the computer.
Restart your computer, run the installation cd, and then after the HP installation says it's complete then plug the usb cable into your computer. NOTE: Some HP driver installations ask you during the install to plug in your printer so the software can find it. If thats what happens then only plug in your printers usb cable when the installation software tells you to. Once it detects your printer the installation will continue. Make sure you keep hitting next or continue until the software tells you everything is installed. Now your all in one printer should work.

First I'll assume that by "reboot" you mean you had to "re-install" the operating system on the computer. Simply rebooting the computer doesn't mean you have to re-install the software.
