re Memory stick 16GB.

[robin8495]

I have a 16GB memory stick that I have not used for some time and my computer has been re-programed at various times, the driver for this stick has most probably got lost along the way. It is a Memory '2GO' 16GB and does not show up on my computer when I plug it in. Can any one help, please.

I am not aware of any memory stick needing a driver. If it is working it should as an external storage device. Can you try it in another computer?

All my other USB memory sticks work OK, it's just this 2GO one that wont show on Explorer as they normally do. I know some of the old sticks had a small CD to install, but if so I do not have that one any more. I do know the sticks are cheap enough, but it is a shame to waste it. As for joining a Forum and paying for a (possible?) answer, I dont think so, thanks anyway.

A memory stick is just additional memory capacity. I don't see why you would need a CD or why it would show in explorer which is an internet browser.

Once plugged in it would show as an additional drive viewable via Start > computer.

Chris's instructions where not asking you to join another forum and pay anything, there are instructions there on how to uninstall any drivers for the stick so windows can install them again, it sometimes works.

If not, look in device manager and see if the stick is showing as a problem device, if it is open the properties and there will be a failure code for it, post back with that.

If it's showing in device manager OK then check in drive management to make sure it's showing as having an active, formatted, partition on it and it's allocated a drive letter.

No it does n't. It opens 'computer' showing all available drives.
