![]() ![]() With the Sansa disconnected from the computer I tried plugging in the headphones and was able to hear music, so I think it works, but without being able to connect to the computer again, I don’t think I can add or delete music, which kind of limits future use. Why SanDisk doesn’t simply make a driver available for reinsertion seems a mystery as that ought to be the fastest fix. There has to be a driver for the Clip somehow, otherwise Windows 7 wouldn’t be looking for it, I should think. Although I thought I had simply deleted the errant album, when I tried checking to see if any music would play, I could get it to do that, though the errant album still showed present, but none of the tunes on that album would play (the screen just went down to the 32nd tune and did nothing). I can’t think I could have deleted a driver, as I wouldn’t know where to look for it. I figured something must have gone wrong with the drag and drop of the album, so I tried deleting the album to try dragging and dropping again and that’s when the problems started, or at least became noticeable. If I tried to play the sixth song from the album, it would skip down to the eighth song, and then play the rest normally. The fifth song apparently had some kind of a problem, as the Sansa would freeze up in the middle of the tune, and I couldn’t get it to do anything unless I did the 15 second hold down and restart routine. Initial problem was when I was trying to add music, and one of the files from the Windows Media Player had about 32 songs on it. I am not sure of the Windows Media Player version, but it says it was created in 2009 and was last updated in March of this year. ![]() The Sansa updater seems to say there are no updates. I am going to leave it connected overnight in case it really is doing something, albeit incredilbly slowly. If I pull the Sansa now, the screen will continue to say “writing” unless I manually tuirn it off. If I click on the not installed balloon, it gives me the popup saying contact the manufacturer. The Windows 7 balloon comes up saying something about installing the driver, and then saying the driver was not installed. If I take the now dormant Sansa and plug it back into the computer, the Sansa screen lights back up, and now reads “writing”. If I hold the start button down for 15 seconds the Sansa will shut off. If I pull the Sansa out, I get the boop boop on the computer indicating something was removed, and the Sansa screen just continues to say “connected” (The battery bar shows a full charge). When I plug in the Sansa, the screen says “connected”, but if I try to pull it up on the “my computer” it does not show. I have seen some notations for a second mode MSC, but I can’t seem to find it, and wouldn’t have monkeyed around with any settings (I am kind of green with computers). There is also" MTP USB Device" with a “Failed” after it. Upon clicking this balloon for help a popup screen says … please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed. Upon plugging it intpo my Windows 7, I get a boop boop sound that something was attached, and then a pop up balloon comes up saying " installing device driver software", after a moment of this a balloon screen says “Device Driver Software not installed”. ![]() I am all of a sudden having problems with my Sansa Clip Plus. ![]()
