Maybe a lot of the people in charge at Microsoft are now grandparents and it's some sort of conspiracy to facilitate increased communication and visitation between grandparents and their children/grandchildren.

Better let your husband handle this one.

run a check disc on it, automatically fix errors/recover bad sectors

what operating system is on the desktop?

as already stated, it's probably using the wrong type of file system

obviously the desktop is a separate computer from the one that she's having problems with or she wouldn't have worded it like that.

just a hunch.

yes to clarify, it works on my desktop (XP) and not my laptop (Vista).

It would be nice to actually utilize the SD reader my laptop has. I have had previous problems with this computer in the past, but I know nothing about this stuff.

I could ask my wife, but she wouldn't have any idea either.

Your question has already been answered. Vista doesn't support flash drives formatted with fat32. Put the drive on the xp machine, copy everything you want from it, format to NTFS. Should work in both then.
