Errors ejecting USB Flash Drive

I have several flash drives and just bought a Scan Disk Cruzer. No problem on
plug in and viewing files, but when I try to eject the device I get this
error:

appstop.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I tried it on another computer and have no problem ejecting it. I also tried
another flash drive in the desktop that is giving me the problem and when I
try to unload that one it says:

appservice.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Any help would be appreciated .

Thanks

Are the programs "appstop.exe" and "appservice.exe" part of "Scan
Disk Cruzer"? If so then your best bet is the FAQs of the Scan
Disk Cruzer application. I don't think it has anything to do with
Windows. If it works on a different PC then this simply means that
there is some incompatibility on your own PC.

I have noticed that I get app errors when I try and remove some of my other
usb flash devices also.

AFAIK, neither of these files belong to Windows XP. Change the
extension of both of them from .exe to .ex, reboot the machine and
watch what happens. If one of your applications complains then
you will know what the misbehaving executables belong to. And
by the way, please don't wait another nine days until you reply.
