    I have a problem. When I insert my Kingston 32G pendrive into my Acer laptop that's running on Windows Vista, it says that device software cannot be installed or something and I can't open up the pendrive. The pendrive does however work on other laptops. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

    You may have to download the drivers for it manually.

    Does any other USB device work in the slot you're trying to use?

    Try what Devon is asking first, if it doesn't work -

    I found this with a quick Google:

    http://www.driversquad.com/driver.php?option=o&prodid=137&cust=kingston+USB+driver_AD_www.google.com_&channel=&subid=201_US%2ADR_o&roia=%21iicYvq1BAAKLOkMAAAYOVQAAZT5CAABnCA-A

    Supposedly as up to date as currently possible and works with all USB Kingston memory.

    Yeah all but 1 other(which was a crappy looking free gift which I don't use much) pendrives work on the laptop.
