USB Thumb drive shows as device but not in Explorer

I have two USB thumb drives, one an Imation and the other a Kingston. Both
show up under Computer Management and Device Manager but neither shows up
under WinExplorer. Properties indicates the drives are functioning properly.
Trying to save files to either drive under File Save As returns an error
message there is no media present. Win Help/Support mentioned to delete
registry keys that don't exist on my pc. The drives work fine on my other two
units. Suggestions?
