I'm Having USB Trouble....

When I plug in my FlashDrive, a little balloon pops up at the bottom of the screen saying:

Quote:

USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.

I've done the troubleshooting thing but it didn't help. When I click the balloon, the message in the device status box says:

Quote:

No drivers are installed for this device.
If you are having problems with this device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter.

At first it was working fine, then a game I was playing on it froze so I closed it, then I just couldn't open the drive anymore. Help??

It might be dead, but it's unlikely. Try another USB port first.

I know it works, I used another computer to transfer my data to a different drive but I still want that one to work. It's a problem with the computer, not the drive.

Hi!!
I am not the computer expert though sharing my suggestion with you.
As you said that flash drive is working with other computer. Then try to format in that computer then plugin again in your computer.
Still it doesn't work then try to install the driver through online.

If you format it all your data gets deleted.
