[Firmware] Sansa Express 01.01.12 firmware released

Yes, you did what? I gave you a few different ideas to try. You didn’t specify what you did and/or any (explicit) results. Like “I did this, and this is what happened”

Did you follow the directions in the firmware post to the letter?

Did you copy the driver file to the Windows driver folder (on your computer) as indicated?

Did you try connecting several times (as the instructions say may be necessary)?

Did you try running Windows in Compatibility mode to emulate Vista or XP? The Express is a very old device. It’s understandable newer technology may not play nice wtih it. That’s how things become obsolete.

You might also try a different computer if possible. One with XP on it perhaps.

Another thing you didn’t say was why you are trying to update the firmware on such an old device. Is it not working properly? If it is, I’d leave well enough alone and just enjoy it. If not, maybe you should explain what the problem is. It may or may not be firmware-related.
