Sandisk USB Memory stick - Device not reconised

[flamingskullz]

Hi all, firstly i apologise if this has appearred before, i did search for it, honest :)

i have a sandisk memory stick, which works great at work, but as soon as i plug it into my home machine, it registers as device unknown in all my USB ports. I have seen this happen before with various other Memory sticks but i have got around it by using a different port.
Anybody able to shine some light on this? My OS is Windows XP home, the work one is XP pro.

Thanks in advance

It's got to be a driver issue. If you have a later verson of XP pro like SP2 then it might have more intrinsic drivers then XP home of an earlier version. Try downloading the drivers from sandisk and installing them. That should solve your problems.
