Ditto here using Sansa Clip 2GB.
Below from OverDrive is auto-ACK to report I sent to <support@overdrive.com> a few minutes ago. Includes my observations/tests.
Will report any reply from OverDrive.

For about 12 months I’ve been happy, regular listener to OverDrive
books from public libraries at which I’m subscriber. Great service.
I’ve enjoyed listening to dozens (scores?) of titles…usually 2-4 per week.
OS: Windows XP Pro SP3; all updates installed. I use two portable devices:
Sansa Clip 2GB
RCA S2001
Never a problem…until Saturday evening, October 23.
- I checked out/downloaded “The Street Lawyer” (Grisham) from
Fairfax, Va., collection. Attempted transfer to both Sansa and
RCA–both fully charged–and failed.
For both devices I tried transfer using OverDrive app and got
this error result:
//
An error occurred while attempting to transfer “The Street Laywyer-Part01.wma”
Error details: Unable to insert the selected title.
Error 0xC00D2779: The file could not be transferred because the
device clock is not set.
//
For both devices I tried transfer using Windows Explorer
copy/paste and got this error result:
//
The file Street Lawyer-Part01.wma requires special content protection
support to be transferred to portable devices. You may attempt to
transfer with an application that supports Media Digital Rights Management.
//
- Investigating, using Sansa Clip 2GB device only, I
- updated device firmware from Sansa site
- reformatted device
- reset device
- reinstalled OverDrive’s “Windows Media Player Security Upgrade” for Windows Media Player v11
- reset clock using option of WMP11
- tried setting Sansa USB mode to MTP
- tried check out/download and transfer to portable device of different OverDrive library title (a different book)
…all to no avail. Same transfer failures as above.
- Additional observations:
- on different machine [OS: Windows XP Home SP3; all updates
installed.] repeated download of same title. Attempted transfer to portable devices failed as above.
- last prior successful OverDrive check out/download and transfer to portable device: October 19
- to my knowledge there have been no changes to configuration of either my Windows system or my portable devices since October 19
and…I’ve today succeeded (no problem, as always) in checking out/downloading and transferring to both Sansa Clip and RCA S2001
devices, DRM-protected books from another service I use, NetLibrary [http://www.netlibrary.com ]
Given *all* of the above, I’m inclined to think something has changed in OverDrive content since October 19, at least as I’ve seen it, except for this…
- Final observation.
In above testing, I actually checked out/downloaded and attempted transfer to Sansa Clip 2GB and RCA S2001 total of four OverDrive library books. Each transfer to these portable devices failed as described.
I also tried transferring the downloaded books to my wife’s Sansa Clip 4GB portable device. *All four transfers succeeded.* No problem.
