IT Queries: Computer problems answered

This must seem like a silly question but how do you use a memory stick?

I bought a Data Traveller 8GB so somebody could download some pictures and text and a programme to enable me to open VLN E-MAILS.I plugged the memory stick in and I clicked on My Computer and then a new icon entitled F drive which I clicked on and there they were.

The next day I found half the pictures had gone and I’ve no way of knowing where they’ve gone. Also subsequently when I’ve tried to open the pictures again it will not open unless the memory stick is installed. I thought they had been installed on the computer.

First, what is a VLN e-mail?

From your description, the photos have been moved to the new drive so that is why you can’t open them without the drive connected.

It’s very odd your photos have moved to the flash drive without your intervention and it sounds like something else is at work here. You may need to get a computer technician to look at your system’s settings.

To recover the lost photos, we’ve covered this in our Recovering Lost USB Stick post.
