Memory Stick stopped working on one PC only

I started getting message when I tried to copy them from the desktop to a
memory stick that they no longer existed on the desktop. I found I got the
same message from any files in the PC, and that the memory stick worked fine
on another PC. I have been using ReadyBoost with it. Do I need to reset it
in some way?

You need to goto the properties then readyboost then select don't use
this device.

I get this too. And also on only one of my pc's. Ive never used
readyboost so I guess it's not that. Very annoying. Hope someone has
an answer to this.

Are you talking about a Memory Stick (Sony's memory card for its cameras) or
a USB thumb drive?

There is no mention of readyboost in the properties.

It's a 4Gb USB storage device (Easydisk)

Trevor, I've discovered this does happen to me on both my computers,
after further testing I have realized that the thumb drive itself (4gb
Sandisk Cruzer) is faulty! This may be the same with your situation.
If you can, get access to another thumb drive to verify the problem is
not with Vista or your PC, but with the drive itself.
