[nfbcs] USB window not opening

[Steve Jacobson]

Tracy,

When you plug the device in, are you able to access it through Windows Explorer?  For example, if it is a Jump 
Drive, can you find it there?  If so, select the drive and then press the applications key.  I think Autoplay is 
one of the options and you can change the setting.  If you can't access it, it is possible something is wrong with 
the drive, and be sure to try different USB ports.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
