First of all, which USB port is it plugged into (front or back)? If its plugged into a front port, try a rear port. What type of USB ports (1.1 or 2.0) do you have on the PC? Most often 2.0 is backward compatible with 1.1, but in some rare instances, it may not be.

First off being a woman does mean youre dumb.. i know men who cant even switch on a pc!

Yeah pluggin it into your back or front usb ports will be different. When you plug it into the usb port does it say anything/ like windows picking up Venus usb device... etc.

It might be that you need to go to your manage console and force the usb to use a different drive letter.
