Generic Volume Problem (SR2)

I’ve got problems getting Windows XP to read a USB flash memory drive.
In Device Manager, I have a yellow icon against Storage Volumes, Generic Volume. I click on properties, and it says ‘no drivers are installed for this device’. I go to the driver tab; if I update, it says it can’t find anything better that the one I have already installed (!); it refuses to uninstall (the device just comes back); the driver details button tells me I have volsnap.sys installed. In Total Commander, I can click on the drive letter, but am then told that the driver is not found. In Explorer, it will sometimes show up a blank space, sometimes tell me that the drive is unavailable, sometimes begin the AutoPlay routine and then cut out. It has been working OK up till today … Can anyone help on this please?

Uninstall this volsnap.sys driver. Reboot machine and then give the thumb drive a try.

thanks — but I don’t think that worked. I’ve only one USB port,, that doesn’t work as it should owing to a loose connection. I normally connect my USB drives through a PCMCIA card–and that’s now not working at all. Just nothing happens when I stick the USB stick in the slots–though it still powers my speakers fine as before.
