Been there. The driver I got with it didn't work, So I went to the Sandisk site,
http://sandisk.com
First I got the product number. Then clicked downloads. Moved it to the drivers folder,
Plugged it to USB port.
Then control panes>-Add new hardware, Navigated to where everything was, and it worked. If it doesn't , >-System->click open the yellow part and find new driver.
I think I had to do a reboot before it worked. Been a few years.

there should be a usb port on the back of the PC where all of the other cables are, but before you can use your flashdrive, you willprobably have to install a driver for it. the SanDisk Cruzer Micro flash drives seem to be able to install their own drivers so you might want to try one of them if all else fails
