I have a M4002 OPAL MP3 Player that I have only recently purchased. The problem that I am having is that the MP# player does not show up on my computer. I have tried to use Yahoo Music and synchronizing using Windows media player, but they both tell me that there is no device. I have gone through the device manager and tried to update the drives as well as reinstall the driver. The device manager says that the device is working properly, but I still cannot load/unload music onto the player at all.
-   Ok, I'd love to know the solution to this freaking problem. And no, the solution needed is not "Throw out and buy a new one". Here is the problem that I have.
1. The mp3 player is not registering as an installed device. 2. The installed driver for it vanished. 3. I can't reinstall the driver because without the driver for the actual device operation it can't access the Opal. 4. The driver is suppose to auto install, but isn't.
Anyone with actually helpful advice?

install windows media player 11, I had the same issue and this was the only way it would show up on my own pc. Also, if the screen on the mp3 player goes black, just hit the reset button on the back and I had to use a straight pin to press the button. A little fyi. Christine

- just install windows media player 11 and you should be all set to go and if it won't cut on try the reset button. Both of these solutions worked on my pc and opal. Good luck!
The Opal shows up just like a USB or other removeable "hard drive" in Windows Explorer. And, in fact, you can "drag'n'drop" MP3 folders with the usual artist-album-tracks filesystem hierarchy onto an open Opal "hard-drive" Explorer window and the files will "sync" (read "copy") onto the Opal through the USB connection. You can then navigate the music in any of the usual ways on the Opal. The "music management" software is just (in my opinion too complicated) "bells and whistles" that is really unnecessary for getting files onto and back off of your Opal...
I bought this mp3 for my son and had the same problem. Well, it would try to install the device, then say that the device was not recognized. Stupid Vista. So, this is how I made it work: open "Computer" press the reset button on the mp3, press and hold the play button while you connect the USB, continue holding play until you see an icon show up. This seemed to work okay. Hope this helps.
me i have find the trick but it's not that easy only things you need to do is download de update device open the program and it's going to tell you searching now when you plug your mp3 keep pressing the play button until you see ready then let go go see on my computer and you'll see opal
If you go to my computer and you see a icon that says opal or removable disk (E:), (F:). Click on it and then click on [Internal Storage]. all you have to do is drag and drop or copy files in this folder. note: You have to convert the videos with the program provided and you could only put music in folders.

- try going to control panel and run "add hardware" while the mp3 is plugged in.
