Memory sticks

I am trying to access my memory stick but it does not appear on the computer.
Nothing happens when I plug them in. USB ports are working fine (I checked on
Device Management) but they do not appear in Disk Management. The memory
stick works on other computers. I know there were other threads on this but
there was no solution that I could find. Please help!!

Try uninstalling, then re-installing your USB driver.

Do the USB sockets work generally? If only the ones at the back of
the case work, then the front ones may not be connected, or may be
wired up incorrectly (which could hurt hardware if so).

Can you plug the stick right in, or is there plasticware that stops it
going in all the way? I've seen some case socket shapes and stick
bodies that get in each other's way, and fail like this.

I see you already checked Disk Management, so it's not the old "same
letter and hidden by a LAN share mapping" problem.
