New Clip Zip, strange version?

You might try reapplying the most recent firmware manually–see the firmware sticky thread at the top of this forum.  Very easy to do, and this can fix firmware glitches that develop over time.

If that doesn’t help, I would transfer the content you want to keep to your computer and reformat the player under its options–this often can fix unknown issues. 

Hopefully, one or the other of the above will help–good luck!
