Weird. You'd think that Vista would have no problems with it. Try the PSP on another USB jack and see if it makes a difference. Also make sure that Vista is up to date with MS patches. You might want to try the PSP and USB cable on another PC to elimate those 2 as suspects.

Well it's probably Vista. Give it a try on a normal Xp computer. Also try running windows vista auto update.

I just got the same problem as you, I tried many ways like updating the driver, replacing cable, formatting memory stick, but it didn't work. I just incidentally disable the PCI to usb enhanced host controller in device manager, and it works now. My PC recognizes my PSP as USB 1.1 Device. (I am using WinXP BTW, I dont know how you can acces the device manager in Vista, but if you do, just find something similiar like the one I bold above)

Uh, I don't know what's the problem with yours but I'm on Vista too and it works pretty well. You can try Googling.

Errr, Perhaps it has something to do with your memory stick.

:S I'm not exactly sure though.

If problems persist, Try getting one of those USB memory stick adaptor thingies (sorry, I dont know the actual name) and so If the computer still doesn't recognise it...then you know that the memory stick is the problem and you may need a new one.

My old one stopped working....a tiny bit at the end snapped off xD My PSP or Computer wouldn't recognise it and so I had to resort to using my really old 1GB memory stick which I got when I bought the PSP (Which was shortly after its' release)
