E10 Iriver 3 won't regonize my device

I have the same problem... Connecting the device takes a very, very
long time, and i then get an error messeage that says it timed out,
retry/cancel/continue. Either option does nothing.. Any software that
tries to access the player (windows media player, iriver plus 3,
windows explorer etc.) locks up for a while, then the same error
message. I can't initialize it in iriver plus 3, if i try to format it
in windows the format works for some 5 minutes, then tells me it wasn't able to complete the format, the files on the device are unchanged... Other usb devices i have work fine. I have no idea what might be causing it...

Thanks for trying hoopo. I have tried diff computers even with iriver software but no luck. To the other GUEST who has the same problem someone said to me that if a virus gets on your computer it can effect the iriver unit in this way, but as of yet i have found no resolution to rid the iriver player of any virus' (or even scan for them!). So no joy :( Thanks for trying hoopo. I have tried diff computers even with iriver software but no luck.

I have the same problem :( My E10 worked fine untill the other day where the transfer ended up not responding, therefore I was forced to end the program (Plus 3). Everytime I now connect the E10, it does not regonize the device, although on the E10's screen it says "USB Connected". Since I ended the transfer the time before, I lost all the files that was on it, and now I have nothing and im really stuck. I need it soon as im going on a trip... Please HELP! Thanks..

We have three E10s and have now this problem on 2 of them. While transferring tracks, which for some reason is very slow anyway, the transfer comes up as cancelled. After that all the music tracks previously on the player disappear and the folder shows "empty". One of the players has photos and videos and they are still there! Tried reformatting one E10 and that now is even more screwed as it shows no capacity even though seems to have no content.Also when viewed in windows explorer it sometimes shows up as having no free space and other times as being fully free.This seems a bit of a coincidence that two have been affected in a couple of weeks, and I am wondering about software, either iRiver plus 3 or the only other change is the installation of Norton Internet Security 2009!
