Hi guys,

Can any of you help. I recently bought a USB memory stick (2gb Easydisk). It works great on every computer except one. On this computer, it freezes the whole computer within seconds of me plugging it in. This happened after I botted up with it plugged in, it just sat there with a blank screen, so i pulled it out. It was working ok on this computer before this. As I was about to reinstall windows on it anyway I decided to wipe the partition and reinstall Win XP home.(full install, reformated Partition and installed on blank partition). Once finished, when I plug in the USB stick it still freezes up the computer, but other USB sticks work ok with it, even in the same USB slot. I have also tried diff USB slots with the same result.

I have tried going to the Easydisk website and having a look there but I cannot find the exact disk on it... typical....

Can ya halp me guys!!!!
