Computer does not recognize the mp3 player

I’ve tried:

  1. Uninstall firmwire and reinstall it.

  2. Tried download Windows Media Player 11 (didn’t work, as I had problems with the validation)

  3. Tried reformat the player.

  4. Tried put the player on hold and push down the center button while plugging it in to the computer.

  5. Tried the advice on this page: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/447

  6. Tried 1 or 2 more things which I do not even remember right now.

And with all due respect - I DO blame the player. I’ve had mp3 players in the past and no one has had so many problems as sansa. It’s not only the problem of getting it recognized but also the amount of times it freezes and I can’t even get it on.

The good news though is that I have FINALLY found a way that actually worked this time - and that was to change the USB port. I say “worked this time” because if I know the sansa player correctly - and I think I do - it will soon **bleep** up once again and the solution for the problem will differ, just as it has in the past for me.

Either way - great to have it on, even for a short moment. Merry Christmas to me.
