Re: Can NOT get my computer to recognize my MP3 player!

If that fails, it may be time to clear out the USB history from the registry:

delete the registry keys under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB

which start with Vid_

If you don't feel confident with that, backup the registry, or that part
of the registry OR simply rename those keys as xVid_ or similar.

In addition to Mike's response, check the USB port with some other
USB device to make sure the port is active.

From my experience with Phillips players, the USB problem arises because
their software is so badly written that it only works when the account is a
full Administrator. See if that works first.
