how the hell do u connect mp3players to a pc? the wifes bought the kids one each and when you plug it in to the usb port it does nothing,using xp it says you shouldnt need to install a usb driver,but it doesnt seem to do bugger all

 

true, on XP it should just connect automatically if the USB port is working..

 

Does it come with any cds/software? if so have you installed it all?

If not then sounds like it could be faultly usb port, maybe try another port on the pc? ive got 5 on mine

 

how old is your pc, as theres a usb and usb2, sometimes things dont work on usb when the item is usb2

 

Have you updated your XP recently ?

If its an IItronics one then there has been issues with this before and some people have cured it by loading on the Win98 driver.

 

all updates are current,ive got a bit further with it now,when i plug in the usb port it recognises it,but thats it,apparently a window should appear with removable disc but it doesnt

 

does it show in the Explorer directory tree as a Removeable Drive?

 

tree? lo

 

Open my computer, and you should see removable disk in there

 

or .. Start - My Computer... does it show on there as a removeable drive?

 

all sorted now,bring back the tape recorder
