I had a similar problem (would not load driver) and was able to solve with the following: 1. install version 10 or greater of windows media player. 2. in Device Manager (hardware tab on System in Control Panel) right click the ? Samsung YP-T7J and pick update driver 3. Select No, not this time, Next> 4. Install from a list...., Next> 5. Don't search, I will choose.., Next> 6. Select Portable Devices, Next> 7. Select MTP Device, Next> 8. The drivers are copied and the device is recognized. There are other prompts depending on your media player config, but only pertains to how the device is handled. jlw.

I have exactly the same problem and have not found a solution. The problem persisted with Windows Media Player 10 or 11. It has been some time since I tried to sync the device. I suspect there is an incompatible Microsoft update since my last sync.

I plugged my brand new mp3 player into the usb port of my laptop and I am getting error messages and the driver wont install

Hi sobaokokorom,

I see that your MP3 player will not work or be detected b your Laptop.

I will be more than glad to help you regarding your concern, If I may ask have your tried updadting your windows on your computer maybe, you just need to update JAVA, Flash plarer on your windows, have you also updated windows recently on your machine.

I am asking if your machine is updated since the error your mentioned is saying that it is unable to install driver, error as such is possible that it cannot install due to update reasons but if the error states that cannot install driver device not detected or a USB device connected on your machine has malfunctioned then most probably there is something wrong with you MP3 player, maybe you can try reformattgin your MP3 plater back to defaults if possible but first you need to see if your player will work on another computer before resetting it to defaults...

try updating you machine as well then check if the system will detect your MP3 player.

I hope that this helps.

Have a nice day,

mvincentc

Computer doesn't recognize MP3 player -

I had the same problem, all you have to do is first turn on the Mp3.Then go to settings. Then go down to USB mode. It will probably say, auto detect.But instead scroll down to MSC. If that doesn't work try MTP.

Sansa M230 not seen in Explorer or Windows Media Player

We had the same problem with Windows XP. We found some help on the Sandisk web site. On the device go to the Settings menu, then USB. We changed from AutoDetect to MSC mode and everything is working again. Our computer saw all of the songs on our computer fine. Some of the old songs on the Sansa didn't show up on the detect list in Windows Media Player, but they were still on the device.

Computer won't read player

It means your player is in Autodetect/MTP. For your computer to recognize the device you should have windows xp with windows media player 10 or 11 / windows vista with windows media player 11. If your computer is in MSC then you will have there a safely remove icon, because your player act like a thumb drive. Note: You said it was working before on that computer try using a different usb port and uninstalling reinstalling your windows media player software. Hope this helps :D

Its not plug and playing Sandisk 240m 1g

Hi blackmajik, I just got a Sandisk m250. Windows wouldn't recognize it either until I updated my Windows Media Player to version 11. Now XP sees it just fine and the MP3 player syncs with WMP and accepts and plays music!
