Purchased an Olympus VN-4100PV digital voice recorder a couple of months ago at Radioshack. (no software came with it)
Recently purchased new PC with Vista 64-bit. Recorder will not work. Called Olympus today, 12-3-08 and was told no driver is going to be issued to remedy this situation, thus rendering my device useless.
Thanks for nothing Olympus product support.

If you checked their website and did not see the drivers for download then you will need to contact them to have them send the drivers to you. Their telephone number is 888-553-4448 option 5 and then option 2 for voice recorders.

I'm the volunteer recording secretary for our local fire/rescue department. I take minutes at the Board of Commissioners meetings and also record them with the Olympus VN-4100PC. I have a Macintosh 10.5...

Unfortunately the VN-4100PC was not designed for use on the MAC operating system. MAC does not have the device drivers needed to operate the device. The device was designed for Windows PC environemts only.
