You can reformate the player. plug it into the usb device of you computer and reformate with windows. Or you can run a virus scan through that drive it should say OPAL and have the aniti-virus program clean it for you.

whenever i switch on my RCA OPAL(8GB) i does not switch on

You need to go to the RCA website and download the latest firmware and install it. You can also try holding the power button for 15 seconds then plug it into the usb port.

RCA Opal 4001/4002 – Transferring Videos

You will need to download the RCA Media Converter from RCA's website, and then convert the videos before they will transfer to your player.

go the the start menu, click my computer (with your opal plugged in of course) and it will show up in the disc drive part of the page. open it and drag the music files into the music folder. just got my 8GB opal today for 50$ at wal-mart! great deal!

Hello csbnm,

The RCA Opal MP3 player appears to be compatible with iTunes and iTunes Plus servies.

Best Regards

Mine didn't recognize either, so what I did is go into the device manager, find the opal in the listings, double-click, disabled the device, re-enabled it, at which time it shows that there's a firmware error. I then re-installed the driver from the cd, unplugged the opal, plugged it back in, and for whatever reason, the computer then recognized the opal as a mass storage device, instead of a portable music player. The computer now sees it everytime, and all I have to do is drag and drop any files I want into the opal. Works like a charm. Hopefully RCA will provide an updated firmware program in the near future, but this might work for you for now. Good luck!

Hey, I have the same MP3 and I have Windows 98. I didn't try to install the CD that came with it. All you have to do is plug it into your USB port in the back.
Hope it works,
Shannon
