memory stick problem

I have a 1 gig memory stick. I had to go to mfr web page to download driver. It worked and I copied huge amounts of files and photo folders. I use a screen capture software to get photos and newspaper items and they are sent to desktop folder. When I try to drag and drop or copy and paste to the Memory Stick, I get the message "can not copy (file name) the directory or file cannot be created." The mfr said it sounded like it was defective. I had it replaced 2 times and both new ones eventually have the same error. When I returned it to the dealer, they got the same message and replaced with no problem.

This is just a stab in the dark but could this have something to do with an obscure file extension that isn't being recognised.

Another possibility. You are storing too many files in the root directory. Try creating subdirectories and store the files in them.
