My girl was using the shared Acer notebook with three visible USB ports. She was listening to a music track on Windows Media Player when suddenly the computer “disowned” the flash drive. It will also not recognize mine. Without resetting the notebook to its factory settings, is there any other way to get it to recognize the flash drives again??
I tried to update the driver, but it didn’t work.

I recently had USB problems related to a power surge on the USB port. I’m using Windows XP and it reported the problem with a pop-up message that said I needed to remove the device and reset the port (using the reset button in the pop-up) or the port would be disabled. If you didn’t get this message or closed it, try going to Device Manager and make sure all of the USB ports are enabled. You may have already done this when you updated the driver.
