Base MP3 player model MP713A

your mp3 is probably on hold or it is damaged some way

This might help, some front usb ports installed as standard on some pc cases don't seem to work too well with certain hardware. For example, my mp3 and steering wheel go mad if I use a front port, however if I use one of the rear ports directly attached to the MB everything works fine. This problem can be made worse if you use a usb hub and Vista seems to add another layer to the problem as it can be a little flaky at times.
