When I try to open my flash drive I get an error message saying the media manager is not running. There is an icon on desktop. How do I start media manager? Thank you

That was it! Thank you very much. I was booting up with the drive in the port. I did try clicking mount but it didn't work. It works now. Now I have to figure out how to get my XP driver installed for my USB wireless device. Thanks again, Collieman
Ahh, so you are going to try

Ahh, so you are going to try ndiswrapper. Usually it works quite well. Things to remember: unlike windows, *nix is case-sensitive, so remember to type the name of the Windows .inf file EXACTLY as it is shown, both upper and lower case. Make sure the associated .sys files are in the same directory as the .inf file. And it helps to blacklist the native Linux driver--after ndiswrapper has been loaded with modprobe, run
ndiswrapper -l
to see if the driver is installed correctly, the hardware is recognized, and if there is an alternate native driver listed. If there is, add it to the blacklist file.
Needs to be mounted first.......

While on a running system insert your flashdrive in the usb-port.
The flashdrive-icon will appear on the desktop after a few seconds.
Right-click on the icon and select mount.
Then open the drive.
When ready right-click again and select "Safe removal".
Wait a few seconds, then pull out the flashdrive.
