Hi there,
I have the same unit and like you had a multitude of problems with DMM 1.0, however, version 2.0 is now avalable to download from Philips, so far this software is working perfectly with XP.
Hope this helps.
I have a philips HDD 100 15 gig mp3 player and have had alot of problems with the supplied software. I was wondering is there anyother software I can use and if so where can I get it. I am running windows xp.
