    Hey guys, I got a weird problem. The other day I bought a memory stick ( Kingston DataTravel 2), and this memory stick has got this software called sequire space, I installed it and everything was ok. However next day I tried to plug in the memory stick and the problem occured: Notebook finds the memory stick, but when i double click icon it does not open it, on another hand if I right click on the Icon of memory stick and choose 'Open' everything is ok.
    * After installing this software onto my computer every memory stick not only this kingston is givving me the same problem, which is a little annoyin really.:confused:

    * I tried to reinstall drivers and Windows ,- did not help...grrr.

    Sorry for bad english and a stupid post but I will be really happy if anyone will give me any idea or solution to it... THNX!!! :)

    I don't think it has anything to do with your laptop, it only has to do with either your flash drive stick is dead, or is taking a while to load, or your USB drive isn't working. Do you have another USB drive? Try that one.

    But most likely its probably just taking a while to load. I think the Sequire Space, although I never heard of it, is probably a flash drive encryption software, which makes it harder for hackers and other people to see information inside your flash drive, and it sometimes takes a long time to load up.

    smartsam11 , ghm thnx for your support towards my laptop anyway but the thing is that my usb and flash are alright, actually i destroyed this USB as it annoyed me too much for the first day lar haha :D... however the problem with my laptop after pluggin this stupid USB storage device still remains.
    The problem: after I plug any USB DEVICE onto my laptop the window for choosing the actions towards USB does not apper, and if i got to My Computer I can see the logo of the USB STORAGE however if i try to double click it, in order to open it, it does not open. The only way I can now open the USB is to right click it and press 'Open' manualy, which you know really annoys me as a user.

    THnx
