USB Mass Storage Device Driver

I should let you know that after spending (in more ways than one) 4
unsuccessful hours on the phone to Mesh technical support, I tried this
'teknobabble' solution and it worked!! For the first flash drive, (a 4gb
Cruzer Titanium) I went through the complete procedure as on the web site.
After that, for the second flash drive and for my Panasonic FX55 camera I
simply had to go into Device Manager, right click and open the (now named)
device, tell it to go to C/Windows/inf, and away it went, successfully
installed.
I had also removed my pretty useless Netgear SC101 software, as recommended
elsewhere in these posts, but it did not seem to have any effect. However,
having done both these things, my computer now will go to sleep again, which
for months it has been refusing to do. I have Vista Home Premium by the way.

Many thanks, Cole
