I tried to synch some windows media mp3 files to my e260. It said the synch was successful but when my player restarted, it got stuck in "refresh database". I tried shutting it down, but it's still froze, and it won't respond to being plugged into my computer, it justs sits there. The Best Buy tech support guys have been totally useless, and I really need this thing to work before I go on a family vacation in 4 days. I have really slow dial-up, so downloading stuff from the Sansa site will be hard or impossible, Help.

Uh, I had a similar problem which was extremely difficult to solve. What you want to do is reformat your entire MP3 player. YOU WILL LOSE ALL THE MUSIC ON YOUR SANSA. But you can simply resynch it.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling your windows media player software. If you have a card inserted on your player it would normally do that refresh database. If not try updating the firmware of the player.
I have the same issue where my pc won't recognise my mp3, or only occassionally does, and then locks up. The problem with media player is it eats up so much memory while trying to synch files / delete / add etc and brings your pc to a grinding halt.
So the solution I'm told is the MS Synch Tool, download off MS site and use it rather than the player to switch your files. I'm trying it now.
