A friend of mine just got a brand new 40Gb Win iPod. He's been having trouble getting windows XP to recognize it correctly. Can anyone here help? Thanks Warren ----- Forwarded message ----- Subject: Re: Gettin' the iPod Running OK, here goes: OS: winXP Pro SP1 All the iPod software installed. When I plug the iPod in (either via USB or 1394) the OS "aquires" the device and it shows up in explorer for about 10 seconds. After about 10 seconds the device is simply dropped by the OS - there is no evidence that it is plugged in and the iPod goes back to "menu" mode. Its as though I removed it. There is a work around. When its in the above state (plugged in but not recognized by the OS), I can run the "install new hardware wizard". When I get to the "pick your hardware" screen, I can select the Apple iPod (so obviously something knows its there). Next screen says "you don't need to do anything, that device is working properly". Then, voila, the OS sees it and I can download songs. So, yes I can get it to work, but i don't want to have to run the new hardware wizard everytime i plug it in. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- warren stevens - catzooks.com ------------------------------------------------------ ephPod Mailing List FAQ and HomePage http://www.ephpod.com mailto:[email protected] to susbcribe mailto:[email protected] to unsusbcribe mailto:[email protected] the mailing-list itself
