From: xillwillx at yahoo.com (Will Image) Subject: WIndows XP SP2 "breaks" things the only problem i've encountered so far is that my printer , a canon multipass f20 .. which has a flash card reader freezes when trying to view drives when i click on the 'my computer' icon ... also it freezes when i try to open a file from within a program using file/open.. when trying to get list of drives... im not sure if this is a driver problem with xp seeing the flash card as a drive... has anyone with usb/flash drives experienced this problem? --- "Gregory A.
