WD passport not recognized

Hi.
I have a WD Passport external HD, and when connected under Vista 32 is
properly recognized. The connection is via USB 2.0.
When I connect it under Vista 64, it starts hunting for drivers, doesn't
find any, either locally or online, and it does not show on Explorer.
This also happens with a flash drive Sandisk U3 Contour, recognized under
Vista 32, not recognized in Vista 64.
Thanks
José

Hi,

As stated before, I was having similar trouble. usb hdd not working,
remote, mp3, etc. Reinstalled Vista with all devices attached, and
everything works right now! May help your situation as well.
