Here is my dilemma, I work for a small college, we have winxp pro on most of our systems, everything is networked, all boxes are P4’s at least 400MGHz. We have began encountering problems with students who try to use a usb/thumb drive for storage, when they plug them in, the system wants to install drivers, and being users and power users, they are not allowed to do this. We have done a windows repair and this seems to correct the problem, but with quite a few computers, doing a repair on all of them will take some time. Ive read some reports that the newest patches from the Microsoft world is compromising this and causing the situation. Has anyone else ran into this situation yet? and, has anyone heard that the patches are causing this??? Thanks in advance for all your help
