Resolve Sandisk U3 problems |
|
Many students who bought a Sandisk cruzer or Cruzer mini USB stick with U3 technology found out that these sticks  do not work on the schools network. The reason is the U3 launchpad software these sticks are trying to install on the computers when inserted. Since installing software on the schools computers is disabled for students they will not work. Sandisk released a utillity to remove this U3 Launchpad software from your USB stick. After you ran this utillity your Sandisk Cruzer U3 should work again on all computers inside the school. Download this utillity here.
