Title: Memory Stick
Post by: Templarios on December 09, 2007, 04:42:57 PM: I cant get any memory stick to work with my latop. Keeps saying "invalid data".

I feel like I've tried everything but open to ideas about how to solve this!

I have tired installing the correct driver downloaded from the makers of the memory stick's website but still not luck. My OP is windows XP Pro.

Also no spamming in this thread please.

And how would you do that?
