A workaround:

Get to Device Manager. Under CD-ROM drives, right click the Kingston U3 listing, Disable, Yes.

To still run Windows programs using U3, I did the one-click solution to disable U3 Launchpad security.

The U3 uninstall tool from U3.com will disable all your card reader ports and some or all of your usb ports. They won’t show to be disabled if you look in the Device Manager, but they will be. You can get them to work again by disabling and then enabling them.

I found you will need the PRJPROE windows installer package for MS Office Project Professional 2003 and run that first then the U3 uninstall worked flawlessly.

Thanks for the tip for uninstalling from settings. Bought 3 PNY Attache’s for my users and could not use them on Vista laptops. All I could see was the U3 virtual CD. Plus the U3 virtual CD blocked my mapped G drive when it was plugged in. If I need functionality I use PortableApps. The uninstall worked great but asked if I really wanted to do this about 6 times. I still had to give the device a separate drive letter in Vista disk management before I could see it but now it works like it should have.

I had exactly the same problem after buying a Toshiba U3 USB disk. Fortunately the generic U3 uninstaller fixed the problem.

Amusingly, when I called the sales guys at Tandy they had no idea what U3 was or how to uninstall it … guess that’ll teach me not to give up in advance and JFGI

I tried erasing and partitioning the U3 device to 1 partition with Disk Utility and I couldn’t get rid of the U3 volume. Any suggestions?

Hi. I bought this thing, I just wanted something to save my files in, and I hate the technology it comes with. I have an apple. I accidently dragged that box with a lock on it on my desktop (Launchu3 whatever) and it is stuck on my desktop now. I cant get rid of it. How do I get rid of this thing that just sits there mocking me. I downloaded the unistall thingies, but my computer says applications wont run or something. I hate this thing.
