Have you tried to find a Vista driver at the Kingston website?

do you have data inside that you need? if so copy them in XP and format it
in XP as NTFS (its better)
by right clicking on the USB drive and selecting FORMAT

plug it back into vista and see if it works

For the love of christ, it's only a damn flash key. Does Vista require
special drivers for such a common device?

Cheers.

No you idiot...it's the software they sometimes put on their flash
drives that requires drivers.
Moron!

Oh, do you mean like JPG files? Frankie Boy, the Usenet Village Idiot,
strikes out again.

Kingston DTI drivers are built into Vista. If the auto-installation fails,
you will be asked if you want to search for the driver on the net or on your
computer. Try pointing the device driver search to these locations, and
include the subfolders:

%windir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository

or:

%windir%\System32\Spool\Drivers

IMHO, NTFS is overkill for a 1GB memory device. The overhead for FAT32
is much lower, allowing more efficient use of the device.

using a better file system is not an overkill


they use fat only because they want to sell the flashdrives for macs and
linux too
