The software is available from Sandisk's website.
You can hold in the Record button as you are connecting the player to the computer in order to force recognition - a Found New Hardware Wizard will pop up.

Hello,
  • First you could try to RESET the Sansa Clip as next:
>>>
1. Turn the player on (shortly switch the power switch up)
2. Slide and hold the power switch up for 15-20 seconds
3. Release the power switch
The reset is completed
<<<
4. Shortly slide the power switch up
Check if the player functions normally again.

  • When the reset does NOT help next steps will be required:
>>>
1. Put the player in MSC mode: this way a computer recognizes the player as a removable disk.
How to put the Sansa Clip in MSC mode:
1.1 Turn device OFF.
1.2 Slide the Hold switch down to Lock (orange color showing).
1.3 Press and hold the center button while connecting the device to the PC.

2. Backup the media content on the player to the computer.
Connect the player to the computer and backup the files to the PC,
exploring "My Computer" in the removable disk.

3. Perform a firmware reinstallation / firmware update.
Use next link for updating the Clip's firmware:
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/300/related/1
The Sansa Firmware Updater execute file is mentioned as installer
for getting the matching updates for the Sansa Clip.

Cannot connect

Did you run the installation CD before you plugged the mp3 player into the computer? If not, disconnect the mp3 player from computer, uninstall all the Sansa software on your computer, and reinstall the software from the installation CD.

If the uninstall/reinstall fails, update the firmware on the player from Sandisk's website.

Good luck!
