My SanDisk 1GB does the same thing. I use Windows Me. It used to work fine but I don't know what happened.
just got a MPman Mp3 player. It's a MP-Ki 256. I installed the software, with what little help the tiny manual gave me. PC can't find the player. I'm running Win98SE, I have a four port USB hub, not sure if it's only USB 1.1 though. It finds other devices like digital camera's and lists them a a removeable device as it should...it don't find the MP3 player at all. The player should run on win98SE according to the driver disk that came with it. Any help
