Re: Kingston DataTraveler USB Key

I don't know if it's significant, but I have a 512MB
Kingston DataTraveler USB key that I have used numerous
times with both Vista x86 and Vista x64 to copy programs to
and from and I have never had any type of issue with it. In
fact I have six USB drives; 1 Kingston 512MB DataTraveler, 2
Ativa 512MB, 1 Geek Squad 1GB, 1 PNY 2GB, and 1 PNY 4GB. I
have used all 6 with both Vista x86 and x64 and I have never
had any problems. (I love USB keys! I have stopped using my
ZIP drive totally and rarely use a floppy anymore.)

I seriously doubt the USB key(s) at fault. Most likely it
is primarily a problem with Vista and certain hardware!

What would you expect Kingston do to support the key in Vista?
