After Fresh install of windows XP I lost my memory stick Icon for the memorystick drive. Does anyone know how i can get it back ?

d/l and reinstall the memory stick driver..

I reinstalled it but no icon just the normal windows one

am I missing something ?

did you reinstall it and let windows auto detect and install the driver? or you manually re-installed it? the first method should work.

u need to reg. these two files, ms.reg & ms-mg.reg after that u need copy a file snymsico.dll to c:/windows
that is what i done.

snymsico.dll is copied to c:\windows, but .reg files are registry modification scripts. You double-click on them in order to have them make changes to your system registry. (Hence, you need to excerise some caution in using them.) I’m kind of confused as to where these files are coming from…

i saw it on the forum a while ago… or search on the sony site…

pm me with your email. i’ll send you the driver..

just replied.. :wink:

can you send it to me too ? I lost mine too

sure..email me.

does the ms drive even work? or just missing icon..

you can’t really assume. there’s been a few times that when a ms is inserted, the ms indicating light comes on(the ms icon is there as well) but i dont see any files(files are visible when the same ms is inserted to my clie)..

I’m glad to see the same annoying problem persists with other users too, glad as in I can get some help too

Anyhow, I searched for that snymsico.dll on google and came up with this ..
 

I havent tried following what it says cause I dont have the time right now, but maybe someone else can give it a go.  Good luck!

I have noticed this problem as well when doing a clean install on my S270, I wonder though if this could be solved by installing the memory stick formatter program included on the recovery discs. I currently am not running a clean install, so I cannot verify if this will solve the problem. If it does though, please let us all know.
