new USB memory stick help....

I have a memory stick that i have been using for a long time with my old XP desktop, but 2 days ago i got a new pc that is Vista so i need a new memory stick because my new pc cant read the old stick.

so i looked on pc world and found this:

Now, on that link where it says Vista/XP Complaint (im guessing its a typo and they mean it to be 'Compliant') does that mean that it works with both Vista and XP?

 

You shouldn't have any reason your old jumpdrive wont work on vista, what happens when you plug it into the vista machine.

 

the first time i plugged it into my Vista machine it tried to install the USB memory sticks drivers etc, but failed. Now everytime i try to plug it in and do some of my college work (thats what i use the memory stick for) on my new machine nothing happens.

 

can anyone else offer some advice?
