You asked “Did you follow the directions in the 1st post of this thread?” and I replied “Yes I did”.
I followed the instructions carefully, but it does not work. As I said, the PC will recognize the Express as a STMP3600 device, but it fails to load the driver (yellow triangle with exclamation mark on the ‘devices’ section of ‘system’).
I tried connecting several times, but it always ends as above.
Sorry, I have no idea how to “run” a driver in compatibility mode, I only know how to run programs this way, but it does not seem to apply to this issue. I’ve tried running the Sansa Updates in compatibility mode but it still failed to find any updates.
Unfortunately I have no access to any other computer that still runs XP. 
Last but not least, I wanted to update the firmware because the update states it gives the Express “more random shuffle mode” which is what I hate most on the actual firmware (the shuffle not being random at all, that is).
Thanks.
