I have the very same problem. Vista won't accept & load my Sansa e250. I have changed it to MSC mode, still nothing. Vista will start install & then wants driver & fails to install. My Sansa shows in Device Manager under Portables with a dirty big exclimation mark. Sandisk help so far has told me to try all the things I have already, uninstall & reinstall & try on other OS & machine. Fine on XP machine but mine's Vista!!!!!

Hey, the best solution to get your Sansa e200 series work with Vista is to switch the USB settings of your sansa from MTP to MSC mode.

Navigate to Settings from your main Sansa menu, go to USB Mode and change the settings.

Its working for me....

Looking at their site it looks as though they do not have a driver for vista for your mp3 player. you could download the xp driver and try it.or you could always make a duel booth system on your machine..not very pratical but it would be a fix.

My sansa mp3 player isn`t recognized by the computer

It may depend on your operating system, but there are known issues in vista. There is also a hotfix from microsoft. This is from the Sansa Website FAQs at http://www.sansa.com/support/sansa_clip/faqs

My Sansa player is not recognized by my computer when I connect it.

The most common reason for this problem is not having the latest Windows Media Player installed, or having a Windows OS version that is not supported by the Sansa player.

The Sansa players support Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista and above. If your operating system version is supported by the Sansa player:

SOLUTION 1 – Download and install the latest Windows Media Player

SOLUTION 2 – If that didn’t help, and you are running Windows Vista, apply the following hotfix - KB940199

SOLUTION 3 – If that didn’t help, download and Install the MTP Porting Kit (click here)

SOLUTION 4 – If that didn’t help, try connecting the device to the PC using MSC mode

On the Clip: Go to Settings > USB mode & choose MSC

I hope this helps and please don't forget to rate my answer.

Sansa clip 2gb lockec

First of all, may I ask if you have a mini disc player or a Sansa Clip? Because the Sansa Clip does not play discs of any kind.

If you do indeed have a Sansa Clip you will find the FAQ rather helpful here - http://www.sansa.com/support/sansa_clip/faqs
Question 9 there is regarding devices not recognized by the PC and the solutions are as follows:
The most common reason for this problem is not having the latest Windows Media Player installed, or having a Windows OS version that is not supported by the Sansa player.
The Sansa players support Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista and above. If your operating system version is supported by the Sansa player:

If none of the solutions work for you, please post the results of your attempts and we can go from there.

It's ot working...:( i need help

Maria,

Which type of computer (Windows Vista, Windows XP, MacOS, MacOSX) are you using?

Also, check on your mp3 player for which version you have.
e200 [version 1]
e200R [Rhapsody]
e200v2 [version 2]
(See pictures here... http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=e200&thread.id=9720)

The solution is different based on which model.

The solutions all center around switching between MTC and MSC mode. You can find this setting under the general "settings" tab.

Depending on the computer system you are using, switching between those modes can sometimes trigger your Sansa to connect again.

Transfering songs

-Plug in your mp3 player

-Go into 'Limewire', select a song and go 'Locate file/Open Containg Folder', you should be in your folder with all your songs. or go 'My Music' and find your music files.

-Either select all your songs, open them with 'Windows Media Player' and transfer them that way.
-Or 'Open My Computer' then open 'Sansa e200' and drag the songs from where your songs are located [My Music] to the 'Music' folder in your Sansa e200 folder.

Sansa e200 wont load music

Check if the player is in Autodetect/MTP then try retransferring the songs on the player. And before unplugging the player from the computer check if the files are transferred to the player click on the sansa e200 player on the left window to check if it had really transfferred the songs to the player. If it still wont work, try trasnferring songs using windows media player.
