Hey guys, I went out the other day and bought a brand new 8 GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro and had it hooked up my computer for all of 2 days when it stopped working. During most of which however I also had just installed ActivSync for my AT&T Tilt phone. I thought maybe the flash drive just came out so I wiggled it around with no luck. Finally, I unhooked my phone to call some people and came back and hooked it back up and the only thing my PC was telling me was a generic serial was hooked up. Finally I figured I was having problems with my usb drives and started surfing the net. For the last 3 hours I have been sitting on my phone looking for support on my USB devices not working. Unfortunately I had to use my phone as I dont have internet for my pc. But I tried everything I read on this forum with no luck. Finally about 30 mins ago I ran across a post about talking to alienware and cleaning the usb headers. I was up for anything. Alas, it worked. I'm writing this using my phone as the computer copies about 6 GBs worth of music to my flash drive. I'm so happy now. I need the flash drive for my car bc my stereo has a usb hook up and supports up to 10000 songs. I cant believe I didnt think of that sooner. The comp is about 5 yrs old with no to minimal maintinance. It loked like a dust storm went through there. And I am very embarassed writing that bc my major is in computers lol. If you have not tried this yet, do it now. If it doesn't help I am very sorry and wish you luck. I really want to thank all of you guys. You kept this OCD freak reading something for about 3 hours without losing interest lol. Good luck to everyone and thank you again. PS: I am using my phone's keypad, please bare with me.
