'.............U3 smart drives come preinstalled with the U3 Launchpad which emulates the Windows OS start menu, and controls program installation and hence facilitate the portability of software. However, if you would like to use the USB flash drive or memory key as a pure normal USB mass storage device, or you don't use operating system that U3 supports (i.e Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems), or you simply feel that U3 Launchpad and applications have bugs such as unable to eject due to locked files in use, consent on privacy and automatic installation of U3 software and pop-up etc, you can uninstall and remove the U3 Launchpad from the USB storage device.

To remove and delete the U3 Launchpad, you need to download U3 Launchpad uninstallers or U3 Launchpad Removal Tool that remove the U3 Launchpad and re-configure the USB drive to be a single mass storage USB drive. Currently, U3 Launchpad uninstallers are only available for and must be run on Windows XP or Windows 2000 machine. When uninstalling, the U3 smart drives USB device has to be plugged in with U3 Launchpad running.

Unfortunately, you can NOT access your user data and applications on the device without a password.

If you think you are entering the correct password, ensure that CAPS lock or NUM lock is not turned on. You should try to type your password in another application (like word or email) to ensure that it is being entered correctly. This can help you see if CAPS lock, NUM lock, or a sticky key is causing the password to actually be entered incorrectly.

Password attempts
There's a set number of attempts before U3 locks your device and you have to reformat it.
Reformatting will delete all files and applications on the flash drive.

Password hint
If you set a hint when you enabled the password protection, click Hint in the log in window to display the hint you entered. If you did not set a hint or still can not remember your password you will have to reformat the drive.
Reformatting will delete all files and applications on the flash drive.

It is recommended to keep a backup of all the data on your U3 device on your PC for safe keeping.

You should be able to; try looking for your driver here.

click start control panel administrive tools ,computer management ,device manager scroll down universal serial bus controllers you should see a yellow question mark? right click to reinstall drivers or if you can see your usb but its not working ports(com&lpt)right click update driver or scroll to disk drives if you can see your drive + to expand right click you should see options to update driver,disable,uninstall scan for hardware changes. or select properties you should see options in the general tab to troubleshoot,policies,volumes,driver and details under the driver tab you will have the options to check the driver details,update driver,rollback driver or uninstall hope this helps

When you encounter this error it is a good indication that the flash drive or one of the files associated with the drive you're installing is either not designed for the version of Windows you are using or has not been properly created.

Before installing the file it is highly recommended that you first verify that there is not a more up-to-date driver for your device.

Finally, if the drivers do not work contact your hardware or computer manufacturer to see if any updated drivers have been released and/or if not yet released when they will be released. See if works.

Well for starters, if its a 2GB and your showing 2.4GB I say congratulations! If its a 4GB then your right, we have problems.

As for the 2GB issue, it is a common nerd fact that for every 100MB of information you'll loose 5MB of data. So for ever 1GB there is a potential loss of 50MB, 10GB = 500MB and so on.

The reason for this (in more simpler terms) is so the computer has a road map to your information on that particular storage device. Think of it as having a REALLY huge directory of maps in your car. You may only need to get to grandma's house, but you also have every direction imaginable to every place on the planet.

Such is the life in computers... I.e., computers is stupid...

Hope this helped...

look on the back of your computer for a hi speed usb port, or just use any back usb port. some computers like mine dont have a "bus" to the mother board to the front usbs or because they are piggy backed to the front they dont pass through.

If the Windows 98 computer does not have a USB port and you cannot copy the photos onto a floppy disk or burn the photos to a CD then the only option is the following.
Remove the hard disk and connect it to a USB hard drive adapter and then plug this into a USB port of a working computer. This computer will see this as an external storage device, you can then open the various folders and copy your photos to this computer or to a USB flash drive.

Please do not use capitals for the whole message, it is considered shouting and rude.
Your printer can only print files and photo's, it wont be able to recognise projects from a software program, print them directly from the PC

hay you can format the pen drive
compleatly
by drive formater
or try bootable cd

Each U3 smart drive comes with a pre-defined number of login attempts. When you have only 3 attempts remaining, you will receive a warning message to prevent losing your data unnecessarily.
SanDisk does not have any method to bypass the password security feature on Cruzer U3 flash drives. SanDisk has not built in any back door or password reset methods. If the password feature is enabled and you exceed the number of incorrect password attempts, the drive will lock. Once the drive is locked there is no way to unlock the drive or gain access to the data stored on the device. You can only select the format feature, which will perform a secure erase (drive wipe) and data recovery will NOT be possible. U3 Cruzer flash drives which are password protected use 128bit AES encryption for data security

Hi

There are 2 possible problems I can think of.
1st one is if you have damon tools installed it can stop flash drives from showing up, uninstall or change the version of damon tools.
The onther one is the drive is blown, If you just pull out your drive without first clicking safely remove hardware you can blow the drive

Windows 98 does not have USB drivers, you need to install a USB driver, check with the computer shop before you purchase the flash drive.
