Hello,

For pretty much every USB-based storage device that I plug in to my laptop
(USB sticks, external drives...), Vista is unable to find a driver. It first
pops up a couple of times telling me that it can't find it and that I can
choose for it to try and find a solution, and in the end it points me to this
update:

I download it, but then it tells me that "The update does not apply to my
system."

So now I'm stuck without any way to use USB sticks or external hard drives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
