USB Mass Storage Problem
My problem is that when I plug in any type of USB mass storage device - digital camera or thumbdrive I never get the message "finding new hardware". But I can see the device fine. I can open the drive, retrieve or store files, etc., etc. However I cannot unplug the device. Whenever I attemp this will get a fatal (blue screen) error and have to restart the system. Other USB devices work fine. Any help is most appreciated.

May have resolved the USB problem by removing a Spyware program I had checked out some time back. In my case it was NOT Alurias SpyEliminator, but a similar program under the same circumstances. Apparently the actual folder and fragments were still on the system and must have been causing a conflict. Used Advanced Uninstaller Pro 2006 to force remove the program. Then deleted the folder from my system. Appears resolved. I managed to find the basic solution at: My View - 06 Sep 2005 12:36 GMT Finally found the solution. I had to uninstal a package called Alurias SpyElliminator. This problem has been posted to a number of forums and newsgroups but as yet no-one has found a solution.
