Hello, a few months ago I was given an mp3 player from my uncle as a gift. I was happy, but the thing is its from a foreign nation. I have no clue what its model number is because the instructions are barely understandable. What I do know is that if I plug it into my WinXp it automatically provides a driver, but not on Win98. The cd it comes with never installs the driver properly, Win98 keeps detecting it as a new hardware device. Can you guys direct me to some genralized driver that I can download for the mp3 player?

Sorry, there is no such thing as a "generalized drivers'. Do yourself a favor BACKUP! Sorry, I do not check for private messages

at least you can make sure your Windows 98 drivers for USB devices are up to date: http://www.usbman.com/Drivers%20and%20Patches.htm#Windows "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." - BILL CLINTON

Thanks for the replies guys, there is a generic driver that I can install from win98, and im sure its up to date after running windows update, but it requires a file from the win98 cd to complete installation. heh, that cd is so old I have no clue where it could be. Is there an online archive containing such files?

I'm no expert on these but I recall something about formatting them on XP before they will run on W98 - BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. Might be something via Google. Any chance of identifying the device from XP when it is plugged into XP? DerekW
