S3HP and Memory Stick

[niolo]

Hello all, i have bought a S3HP about a month ago. Great laptop, especially for travelling. Anyways, i seem to have a problem with the Memory stick drive. It doesn't recognize any type of memory stick i put in, may it be regular, duo, pro, or duo pro. It keeps telling me that it cannot read the memory stick and wants me to format it. Even if i do format it, i still cannot access it, and again it asks me if i want to format it.......
Has anybody had this problem??? If so pleeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeee help........ i'm desperate.
I've tried reinstalling the drive, no avail. I've tried looking for another driver (other than that of MS which seems to be default), but i can't find anything.

Thanks for any help............................................

Sounds like a dodgy connection
How long have you had it?
I would take it back to the retailer if it's < 30days
