I've got the same problem except that in device manager the stick shows up and apparently there are no problems with it - Windows says it is working fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as i've had the stick a while but haven't used it much at all.

well, just had my 2gig usb drive fail on me.....the light flashed and went off, the pc gave a 'problem installing' type warning.
as previous answer stated, the pc should auto find and install a usb pen drive so you may be out of luck here i'm afraid.

Plugging it into a usb port should then self configure the interface between the pc and the external device. Have you tried the drive in all of the usb ports with the same result ?
