Guys 'n' Gals,

A month or so ago I tried to plug my flash drive into my PC (XP SP2) to download some photos. The flash pen said it was being charged but the PC seems to have no inkling that it's connected. I can't force it to pick it up when it can't see anything there at all. I've not been able to connect it to the PC since.
Can anyone suggest what might (not) be happening?

Thanks,all
