    long story short... the other week i bought a transcend 128mb flash drive... all was well until one day it just stopped working. everytime i plug it in now i get blue screens of death and my computer craps itself. any ideas how to fix this? i have reinstalled the driver and still no luck.
    thanks in advance.

    p.s. oh yeah, i'm running 98SE if that helps

    Did you boot into safe mode and uninstall the driver yet?
    If not try that .. hit f8 at boot.. rt clk My Comp. get into device manager & remove drivers. and reboot.
    (most cases) install the drivers then plug the device back in.

    If it continues try removing the usb 'hub' drivers all together in safe mode.. let windows reinstall them then reinstall the device.
