Device driver software was not successfully installed issues

Hi All,

I have had this issue since I first bought the device and now has passed 30 days since purchase.

When I plug it into a new machine, I always get the error “Device driver software was not successfully installed” no matter what version of Windows it is.  When I remove it and plug it back in, then the key lights up (whereas it never does on first plug-in) and is detected from there on in without any issues. This seems to only happen with Windows machines.

Is there something I’m doing wrong here? I’ve tried this on many machines and the issue is consistent.

Is there firmware that I can run for this to fix this issue, or perhaps U3 wasn’t removed successfully? Though, I seem to remember it never coming with it installed.

This is for the Cruzer 4GB key all black with an inner red usb connector.

Thank you!

I believe that is a normal Windows msg for new devices.  Wait a second for Windows to install the driver and then the drive should be fine.

If the issue still persists, try to manually install the driver to force the driver installation. 

how do i manually install driver

To manually uninstall and install…

Plug in your Flash Drive…

Right Click on “My Computer”>>Manage>>Device Manager>>USB Controllers>> right Click on the USB device with Yellow Triangle>>Uninstall Driver.

Unplug the flash drive and plug it in again.
