HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

If you bought everything on the up and up, then contact the manufacturer and ask them what's up...they would best advise you...

or tell us your OS and what mp3 player you are using to get some real help.

Good point...but should we not get the issue of the possibility that a driver was or was not, needed, out of the way first...especially if it is under some sort of warranty? The set up files should have stated how to do this and that. The package it came in should have noted compatibility issues...

mmmm...something as simple as knowing if it is P/P, plug and play, would be of value... If Windows does not pick up on that, then we have a real problem...it may be in Windows, or in the media player, or in the fact that the two are incompatible for some reason...then it may be a driver issue...

Apologies, I am just thinking out loud...

Once the donkey work is out of the way, then we can get down to brass tacks and rummage through the possible solutions.

But then, I don't have a clue about mp3 players and all of this media stuff!

...duh... ;(

My loss...

i'm running windows xp and my mp3 player is a sansa c100 series

the sandisk will not conact me back.i ask them a month ago!!!

So much for support! Bummer... Well, the next alternative, if you still have some store-cred is to take it back to where you bought it and get them to give you the name of the distributor for the player, who in turn might be able to help you get through to whomever built it. You say it was "Sandisk?"

--no mention of a driver???

O.k., I checked the site and the product...no where does it say it needs a driver. It does say that there is included in the pack a "Quick Start Guide, CD with User Guide, and additional flyer inserts" I would therefore assume that the guides would give you a clue as to the need for anything other then what came with the product. Personally speaking, I don't know why it would need a driver anyway...but again, I am not an MP3 player or user. I have bought them as gifts for my three kids, and none of then needed drivers. They worked right out of the box, once the batteries were loaded. As to hooking up to the computer, you'd need a fire-wire hookup probably, but that would be plug and play situation for windows to worry about, not the MP3 player, I would think.

Now the e100 series is different it specifically says "Mass storage compliant, no drivers required" whereas the former makes no mention of drivers one way or the other.

So, my last question, is, where did you get it into your head that you needed drivers? And how were they to be installed? And where were you supposed to find them?

I went back and checked their whole site. In the search field I inserted drivers. No drivers for your MP3 player were indicated...just for the flash memory sticks, for the most part.
