My key USB Lexar is recognized but then disappears

I bought a Lexar TwistTurn FlashDrive in December.  It worked perfectly with Windows XP and Vista, but my computer with Windows 7 on it gave me problems.

The computer is a Compaq with Windows 7 pre-installed.

When I plug the flash drive into one of the USB ports, it is recognized and autoplay starts, but 10 seconds after the AutoPlay window opens, it closes and the flash drive is no longer recognized.  This continues in a cycle for as long I let the flash drive is plugged.

I googled this problem to death and have found no solution.  I also contacted Lexar support and I was told that the problem is probably caused by the pre-installed drivers.  I checked that my OS is up to date (it is), as well as trying to find the drivers to re - install on the manufacturer's website.  They may be there somewhere, but I couldn't find them.

I'm pretty close at the end of my rope with this problem: Please help?

Hello
 
 
Normally the usb drivers work with the built-in Windows drivers. Given that the drive is detected that it should not be a problem with the drivers.
 
Method 1.
Let us check and Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooting If this solves the problem automatically. refer to the article below for the procedure. If the problem is to move the methods listed below.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter
 
Method 2.
I would ask you to uninstall the USB in Device Manager and then restart the computer and re - insert the hard drive and check. Navigate to the Bus USB controllers in Device Manager and right-click on the drive and click on uninstall and restart the computer. Once the computer is restarted, connect the usb drive and check.
 
Here is the link to Lexar support:
 

I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    Hello

    Since you said it worked very well recently, I'll try to do a system restore at this point in time.

    See this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/system-restore?SignedIn=1

    In addition, see the response of the Meghmala and follow the instructions listed there. I think that the three method might be the best of the bunch for you, but they have all the right steps.

  • Can't get my GMail password! Settings > mail > Gmail: press the "re - enter Password' and the window starts to load, but then disappears.

    In my settings > Mail, Contacts, calendar, Notes under accounts is my GMail account which works perfectly well on my iPhone 6 until what I changed my GMail password. Of course, the next time I go to check my GMail emails on my phone (NOTE: I do not use a separate Gmail application) it tells me to update my password in settings.

    When I try to do it, by pressing the blue text "Reset Password", the Gmail window starts to open and then immediately disappears!

    I've been scouring the internet everyday looking for a solution. I tried the phone off (properly) and then restarting him. That did not help. I tried settings > Mail, Contacts, calendar, notes 'Add an account' but when I press 'Google' I have the same thing - the window starts loading, then it disappears.

    Just out of curiosity, I typed as others (iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo, AOL and Outlook) on the list and they all open a screen except for Google and Yahoo, which also starts loading but then disappears immediately. I wonder why it happens that Google and Yahoo? (I don't have a Yahoo email account configured on this phone. Only Gmail and Exchange (for work, that works perfectly, no problems with this one)

    So, when I tried failed to load Google connection/settings window, click on 'Other' on this list, thinking maybe I'll manually add my GMail account again (as a IMAP), but the iPhone doesn't let me do that without also configuring servers of incoming/outgoing mail as if it were a POP configuration? I gave up that idea.

    What I really want, it's simply Reset my password on my phone to my Gmail account in the settings. Does anyone else have this problem? Y at - it a bug known in this regard? Is there a work around for this? I'm doing something wrong? I have to take this phone to an Apple store and get help here?

    SOLVED! I thought about it. As usual, at the point where I have ask for help is when I tell me how to solve. It's simple, really. I was at work, so I guess that the security settings on the wifi of the company prevented me to access these panels (for some odd reason)? I simply turned off the wifi in the settings, and everything works perfectly.

    I hope that if all the world is facing the same question that helps.

  • Error "USB device not recognized" but nothing is plugged

    Hi, this problem recently just started to happen, nowhere I can say. Whenever I turn on my computer or it wake up from hibernation, a message from the task bar appears saying "USB device not recognized". However, there is nothing plugged one of my USB ports. I have three USB ports available, and all are empty. I tested all three ports in something by plugging, and all three ports seem to work well. What can I do to get this message to stop appearing? Thanks in advance!

    Firefox is updated - 30.0, and I think that since the last update I can no longer see the taskbar.

Taskbar are locked and set to desktop wallpaper - they have always been.

  • When I try to download a file from the internet, it shows that the download is complete but then disappears from the desktop. I can not open or save attachments in e-mail

    I am runing Windows 7 IE8 searching in Google, Microsoft Security Essentials that came pre-installed. I tried to disable the anti-virus (MSE), disabling the firewall, creating a new user account, safe mode, by saving the file on different locations, including a switching flash player. Looking for the file once downloaded, but there is no sign. I checked my file and check options "Show hidden folders". I can also view or open any e-mail attachments, pdf through Windows Live Mail i.e.excel... Help, please!

    You say you have win7 and yet you have posted to a group of Vista

    You cannot open an attachment unless you have the appropriate software installed, that is to say you need Excel or the excel reader in order to view an excel file.

    Looks like you've been juggling your win7 settings, you do not disable the firewall or disble MSE, or create a new user account.

    The default location for downloads using IE8 is C:\Users\'username'\Downloads

  • Satellite A500 - 14K - key USB not recognized with Windows 7

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 14 K, it was pre-installed for Windows 7.
    I bought the upgrade to Windows 7: I got a PC upgrade disk and a windows upgrade disk. I launched the first disk, then the other.
    There was no particular error in these facilities.

    Since this upgrade, my PC doesn't recognize USB keys while they work perfectly with the previous version of windows with this pc. They are normally key usb plug-and-play. When I launched the update of windows, the driver exists, but installation failed in error with a message of access problem.
    I check that the firewall does not block access. I installed the latest version of the BIOS

    I can't find any similar pb on the forum
