Synchronizing MP3 Player Sony NWZ in Windows 7 64bit

Jan 9, 2011 6:52AM PST

Hi forum,

I have a new system running Windows 7 64bit. Now I can't synchronize my Sony NWZ-S639f MP3-Player on this system anymore. The player is detected by the system (and Media Player 12), but as soon as I want to access it, it disconnects every time. It doesn't matter whether I access it directly or via WMP12.
Does anyone have an idea what I could do to get my MP3-Player working on the 64bit system?

My latest attempt was trying to access the player via the Windows XP Mode of Windows 7, since the player was alright on my old XP system. So I now have a running virtual XP Mode with Media Player 11 on my machine. So far so good, the player is even detected by WMP11, once I pass it through to my virtual machine. However, when I try to synchronize the player, WMP tells me that there are no files on the device, although at the same time it shows that 7 of 16 GB are used...

So I have spent quite some frustrating time on this problem. Maybe anyone here in this forum has an idea what I could do, either directly on my Windows 7 machine or via the Virtual XP mode.

Thanks a lot!
