there is an application I'm using, I got it for free from somewhere (try googling it) called USB Safely Remove

it puts an application in the start menu and when you activate it brings up a list of any USB devices plugged into your machine it also has a set of menu's, the first is "actions" in which you can disconnect, reconnect, and a few other options to use and I have never had it fail to properly disconnect something when I told it to do so!

I use it with jaws with no real problem

the only flaw I have found with it is that it tends to interpret any second or third drive type device as the same type as the first one I plug in.

I.E. if I plug in a Kingston thumb drive, then a external Hitachi hard drive it will call both of them Kingston thumb drives, although it will mark the first as drive f and the second as drive g so you can figure out which is actually witch

and reverse, if I plug in the Hitachi first both are called Hitachi drive though with the drive letter differentiation as above noted.

give it a try, as I said its a freebee (it may have come from http://www.freedownloadaday.com/)

take care,
elf

Thank you David. I went in to Windows Explorer and selected the Elements drive and under application key and found open and properties but no eject. Will check again. Under Windows Explorer it said Elements closed. I thought I should leave it closed, is that correct?
Thank you,
Julie
