Memory Stick Pro DUO problem with vista

vkounnis — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 12:05:46 GMT

hi to all,
i have a fe11s and i recently changed my OS to vista home premium edition. I had to solve lots of drivers incompatibility issues but still remains one.
When i insert a memory stick pro duo into the slot, the computer doesnt recognise it.
Does anyone has the same problem?
Thanks

Hi there,

This problem has been bugging me for a while and seeing as how no one has really answered i thought i would post the solution.

The memory stick vista driver is the same as it was under windows XP. Just download the bundled xp drivers and extrace to c:\drivers. Then manually open device manager and you should see a 'mass storage controller' which has no driver. Just right click and say update driver -> select manual location and point it at c:\drivers.

It will just scan the folders and install the correct one.

You will still need to download the vista registry fix to get the right memory stick icon

Hope this helps
