USB flash drives?????

Got a Memorex mini travel drive that is not working? I put it in and the computer doesnt recognize it. It works on other computers! I open properties and it shows that it is working fine. But I go into computer to click on the drive its in and it shows its there, but when I click to open it it tells me to insert a drive??? Anybody else having this problem? It has the U3 software if that might be causing the problem???? Do other brands work for you??? I'm looking at replacing it if I cant get it to work with something like a Lexar. What are your experiences with USB flash drives and Vista. I'd like to get a secure (password encrypted) 2GB or more drive that will work with readyboost if possible. Any suggestions??? Thanks.

    You may need an upgrade to U3 to get it to work with Vista.  See here.  I have 3 USB drives, Lexar, Kingston and Simpletech and all work fine, although none use U3.
