I have copied some video clip to my USB thumb drive.  NOW, how do I get to see the info on the computer monitor?  I have downloaded the included software and NOTHING.  Is there anyone who can give me STEPxSTEP instructions?  Please.  Thank you.

Normally USB drives come with self installing software and are installed automatically.

Try the following steps.

Insert the USB drive into the USB slot on your system. It will install itself.
Now click on "My Computer"
In the list of drives, apart from your "C, D and CD ROM drive" you will see the USB drive as a "detachable drive" or an "external drive"
Double click on the "detachable drive" or "external drive".
This will open the drive and you should be able to see the file saved in the USB drive.
Double click the file to view it.

For my system the USB thumb drive has to be reformated to FAT 32. You can do this by inserting the drive in to your computer first and right clicking on it from my computer. There you will see the option to format drive. Chose FAT from the list. Then right click on FAt again and choose FAT 32. This will format your device.
