  But you can still see the files on the drive after clicking cancel,
eh?  Strange.

  I've seen a similar initial symptom before: If a USB flash drive has
never been plugged into the computer before, then Windows has to do an
"Add New Hardware" thingy for the USB mass storage driver itself.
That didn't want to run without admin rights, so no USB flash drive
would work.  Do it once as an admin and the problem went away.
Haven't seen it on all computers, so something else must have been
going on, too, but that was how it played out.  But until that fix was
done, then the USB flash drive wasn't usable at all.

  Maybe run a thorough malware scan on the problem PC?  Malware can
cause all manner of weird stuff.

  Also check one of the flash drives in another PC to make sure it's
blank.  If needed, FDISK and format it to make sure you've got a known
good.
